I've had the good fortune to meet several folks from Civil War Roundtables in California, so it was nice to see pics.
Her is a link to my latest Civil War endeavor.

A few years ago I was lecturing at my roundtable on the Art of the monuments at Gettysburg and had a full slide show and stories behind the reason certain designs were chosen. (Caught my eye when Marion posted about the reunion in Pennsylvania in Sept....only an hour from Gettysburg and I could both meet Marion and visit my favorite place on earth....) After the lecture a guy approached me about a committee he was starting to get a monument laid in Vicksburg to the Connecticut troops. Its been really interesting. Looking forward to seeing the final monument when they complete the carving.
