Just learned that Mr. William Scaife died last Monday. His contribution to the study of the War between the States has been enormous. His maps and books are priceless for serious researchers. Personally his maps and books have made my efforts to record the lives of men in the 7th Mississippi and their time in Georgia and Tennessee much simpler. He was a true Southern gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him and have access to his works. We will miss you Mr. Bill.

His obituary can be found on page B7, Atlanta Journal Constitution, August 21, 2009 or at ajc.com
