Hello sir,
I’ve been a longtime reader of your work and have enjoyed everything I’ve read by you. Between you and the late George Macdonarld Fraser, I’ve spent many hours reading, and loving historical fiction. I just wanted to take a minute and thank you for the excellent work. I’m in college studying battlefield archeology and just returned home from a 6 week field school in Connecticut and Rhode Island working sites from The Pequot War and King Phillip’s War. On my way back home to Texas, I decided I hadn’t quite gotten my fix for battlefields, so dediced to stop at Gettysburg, Antietam (or as we call it in the south, Sharpsburg) and Harper’s Ferry. Just before I left for field school in CT I read your Starbuck books, and I would like to say, that you captured the landscape and scenery of Harper’s Ferry, and Antietam absolutely brilliantly. Keep up with the excellent books! Along with my trowel, my tape, and my kit, I like to keep a copy of one of your books close at hand while
in the field.
Many thanks,
Cameron Stewart
