As a Civil War re-enactor as well as a lover of the likes of Hornblower and Sharpe, I just want to urge you to please bring Nathaniel Starbuck back from “vacation” and onto the battlefield again. Particularly with the sesquicentennial of the Civil War approaching, you can do much to turn kids and others onto American history (as well as take advantage of the marketing possibilities!)by returning your efforts to the fields of North America. Thanks for your writing and I hope Starbuck is back on the march in the next few years! Ave Bauder
