Good day mister Cornwell.

I am a big fan of your literature, and don’t miss a chance to read every book you publish. Right now, I am reading Starbuck Chronicles. Reading the book, i decided to expand my knowledge of american civil war and try to find some prototypes of your characters. I bring you my appologies, may be my question will sound a bit of insolent, by was the prototype for your Legion Hampton’s Legion and its leader Hampton? And was there any real guy prototype for Nate Starbuck?

Again sorry for disturbing you. Wish you all the best, sir.

David
