My Kingdom for a Horse…

As most know, I am diligently working on my three-volume series of books titled West Point at Gettysburg.

Radio Interview With Marc Medley

This is my recent interview with Marc where we discuss many topics including my new book WEST POINT AT GETTYSBURG (VOL. 1).

Praise for WEST POINT AT GETTYSBURG

The first volume of my three-volume series, West Point at Gettysburg (Vol. 1 A-G) is receiving initial praise.

These three volumes will tell the stories of every single West Point graduate who fought at the Battle of Gettysburg. In addition, there are a host of interesting lists that also help tell a compelling story of these men, the battle, the Civil War, and their lives after this event.

This work was published by Sunbury Press in December 2025.
