The “Emerging Civil War Series” Series: Afterword

Chris Mackowski and Kris White as young(ish) pups, on the first day of release for the first ECWS book, Simply Murder, on December 8, 2012.

On November 1, we kicked off our “Engaging Civil War Series” Series. It’s been like the 12 Days of Christmas that won’t die: a gift that has kept giving and giving and giving! Well, now it’s time to wrap things up. For your handy reference, here’s a list of the blog posts in the order in which the books were published, and just like the books themselves, there are some appendices at the end.

We hope you’ve enjoyed the series, and we hope you continue to enjoy the books. We could not do this without out.

1 Response to The “Emerging Civil War Series” Series: Afterword

  1. I have read the First Day of Gettysburg and Antietam, and have Mine Run on the pile of books to read. The Fredericksburg book intrigues me because I spent over an hour last night with ABT videos of Fran O’Reilly and maps of the battle!
