Dear Sir, First let me say thank you for answering all my questions and the hours reading and enjoyment you gave my famly and me. I have started my 1st attempt at a novel and decided to write it on the battle of Bull Run and was wondering what books you used to write Rebel? 2nd I am a Civil war reenactor in Wyatt’s Battery and noticed we did not have a regimental color, was this common? (I only ask because our sister battery in 4th u.s. artillery has one.) And I want to do research on that, where do you think I should start? Thank you once again for your time. I want you to know I respect your option more than anyone elses. Lastly Im Bagging you finish Starbuck and let Sharpe raise his children in peace. Adam Azzalino
