Upcoming Book Signings

Next Saturday I’ll be at the Houston History Book Fair & Symposium, along with CW authors Jim Schmidt, author of Galveston and the Civil War: An Island City in the Maelstrom, and Ed Cotham, author of Battle on the Bay: The Civil War Struggle for Galveston and other works.

This is all excellent news! I would say more if my life hadn’t been so severely disrupted, first by travel and now by the North East Castrophe. Plus, must go and vote! Maybe after that I can start the attempts to restore some normalcy, including working again, in our tiny part of it all.
BTW, off specific topic but part of the Subject, i.e. the Civil War, you probably have seen notice that a new biography of U.S.S. Grant has been published — The Man Who Saved the Union: Ulysses S. Grant in War and Peace by H.W. Brands.
