My Kingdom for a Horse…
As most know, I am diligently working on my three-volume series of books titled West Point at Gettysburg.
This series tells about the lives of every single West Point graduate, both Union and Confederate, who fought at the Battle of Gettysburg in July 1863.

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.
