What inspired you to write the book?
The men and women of Maryland, and throughout the country, who gave so much during the Civil War, inspired me to write this book. I wanted to tell their story. They deserved it.
A lot of experts say "Write about what you know." Does that apply to your book? How?
I have written — about what I know.' I have been a student of the American Civil War for more than two decades and have a history degree from the University of Maryland at College Park. I have traveled the country visiting and researching Civil War sites, have volunteered at Antietam National Battlefield and worked with some of the leading historians in the field.
Are there other, established authors whose styles are similar to yours?
I am not aware of my style being similar to any established authors.
What themes did you want to present to readers?
I wanted to present the theme to the readers that the Civil War is a combination of many things and not limited to just one. This work is a full narrative based on research and facts with some analysis.
