GDG- 6th U.S. Cavalry at Fiarfield

[J. David Petruzzi]

Hi Tom,

Thanks - I really appreciate that!  The current owner of the Marshall home
gave me that photograph and the event invitation to use with the article.
That's the first time that either has been reproduced.

Working on a few things - Eric Wittenberg, Mike Nugent and I have some
jointly-written articles that will be appearing over the next several months
in ACW, CWT, B&G and Gettysburg Magazine.  They're based on our new book
about the Retreat from Gettysburg, which will be released by Savas-Beatie in
June.  I'm also working on some solo articles, and very shortly, after Eric
and I take a little breather (!) we're getting cracking on our next book.

BTW - Eric and I spoke to the Harrisburg CWRT on Friday night, and we met
one of your fellow members of the Dover CWRT there!

Best,
J.D.

>>Just finished reading a well-written article in the July 2007 issue of
America's Civil War by esteemed member J.D. Petruzzi about the near
annililation of the 6th U.S. Cavalry by Jones' brigade at Fairfield on July
3.  It includes a story and photograph about a reunion of the 6th U.S.
survivors in 1911 at the Marshall house in Fairfield that served as a
hospital at the time of the battle.  Anyone else read it?

Good job, J.D.  Keep them coming!  Anything else on the griddle?
