Mr. Cornwell,

I recently started reading the Starbuck Chronicels again after many  years. I wanted to ask. What was your inspiration for the characher of Nathaniel Starbuck?  I must admit, like many in The Falcouner Legion, I’m not even sure I like him. I am, however, fascinated by him. As well as many other characters in the series. I was just curious as to how you decided to write about a young man from Massachusetts who ended up in the Army of Northern Virginia. I sincerely hope you decide to continue this epic story in the near future.
