Art: I hope it is well received. I worked long and hard on the manuscript. and of course I looked at more documents than I care to remember. After reading similar works on other states, I decided that I liked your format the best of all. Your book on Louisiana units is the ultimate guide in my humble opinion. Unlike you, I am not a professional historian, but history has always been my first love. I would like to think that my manuscript provides an accurate summary of the service of each Missouri Confederate unit that will be useful to both historians and genealogists. We shall see.
