Bryan,

Thank you very much. You will actually find a few items of Trans-Mississippi interest in the book. Alexander Asboth, the Union commander at the Battle of Marianna, was Fremont's chief of staff in St. Louis and commanded a Division during the advance across Missouri. As you know, he was wounded at Pea Ridge.

This has been a productive year for me. I finished three manuscripts I've been working on for several years. The third, on the Battle of Massard Prairie, Arkansas, will be out in the fall.
