Pingback: Best of 2011 (Kris White) | Emerging Civil War
Kris,
Saw a review of your book on the Civil War librarian, and that you are from Trafford. I am the author of two books on the Civil War: Pittsburgh During the American Civil War; AND
Our Honored Dead, Allegheny County During the American Civil War, and am presently completing a manuscript of Southwestern Pennsylvania and the Battle of Gettysburg, Human Interest Stories to be published June 2013. My publisher is Mechling, of Butler County. Although I have lived in Dormont in the South Hills for the past 38 years, I grew up in Pitcairn in the 1950s-60s. In my first book, I devote a chapter to the Proving Grounds and include where the present Moss-Side Bridge is was the Civil War Naval Proving Grounds. I have also taught World Geography at CCAC Allegheny Campus for the past 12 years. Glad to have found your site.
