G.A. Custer (c. 1865, Library of Congress)
I&#8217;ve just been reading a brand-new edition of Dee Brown&#8217;s Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, out just last month from Sterling Publishing.  It&#8217;s a beautifully packaged and illustrated version of the landmark 1970 work, which looks at the West from 1860-90. I recommend it highly.

It began early for me with an uneventful drive up the National Pike route, and a  SHAF meeting in Keedysville which introduced promise of more website improvements and some exciting initiatives for the organization for the near future.

Lyon Company, 1909-12) is probably the single best resource on New York military units and officers in the Civil War. It is two other things also, which are exciting to the likes of me:  it&#8217;s beautifully displayed [...]]]></description>

M.A. and G.A.G. Coppens (1861, from Cowan&#8217;s Auctions)
This stunning piece is a rare image of two Louisiana Zouaves, one of whom was killed in action at Sharpsburg.
