I saw the cover of one of your novels in the debris of Flight MH17. The cover art caught my eye and I began reading your Starbuck Chronicles. As a veteran wounded in Iraq and as an avid (yet amateur) American Civil War historian, I was amazed at the detail and accuracy of combat. You captured it well! I have only this to say. Per George C Scott in Patton….Cornwell, You magnificent Bastard!

My Best,

I got so damned into getting that quote right I forgot to mention. Nathaniel Prentiss Banks is my paternal great-great-great? Grandfather. You can really see it my father. According to my grandfather, you nailed him perfectly. At least according to whatever he heard as a child. Thanks again.
