Chris,
I have been anxiously awaiting the release of CHANCELLORSVILLE’S FORGOTTEN FRONT: The Battles of Second Fredericksburg and Salem Church. I saw on Amazon that they are now taking pre-orders for hardback copies. I was wondering if it is possible to purchase an autographed copy directly through you? I have a direct ancestor who fought in the 23rd NJ and was KIA at Salem Church on May 3rd.
Thanks so much,
Brian Mackay
