For those of you who follow Valley Thunder on Facebook, you've no doubt noticed my "count down" of sorts until this weekend. That is, a short day-by-day chronology of the New Market Campaign, leading up to the day of battle. Saturday is the anniversary of the battle, which means it's one of those rare years where the annual reenactment actually falls on the date of the battle.
For those of you who have not yet gotten your copy of Valley Thunder, or who already have and want to get it signed, or just to stop by and say hello, I'll be on Sutler Row both days this weekend, in the New Market Battlefield State Historical Park tent. Quite a few folks have already told me they're planning to stop by. I'll post some photos and a review next week...
Valley Thunder is the first full-length account in nearly four decades to examine the sweeping combat at New Market on May 15, 1864 - the battle that opened the pivotal 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign.
What's going on with Valley Thunder?
Here is where you can stay most up-to-date with the publication of Charles Knight's Valley Thunder: The Battle of New Market, including the latest info on its release, up-coming appearances by the author, latest reviews, more in-depth looks at various aspects of the battle and anything else that comes to mind.
