Four years ago I wrote the first volume in my series, “Civil War Personalities: 50 At a Time,” which was entitled CIVIL WAR TRAILBLAZERS AND TROUBLEMAKERS. It was a collection of four page biographies of people from Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth to Frederick Douglas and Harriet Tubman.
Late in 2023, I published the 20th, CIVIL WAR NEW YORKERS. Again, short bios and photos of people like Dan Sickles and Ely Parker to William Seward and Mary Walker.
Other books in the series have focused on other states, ,e.g. Ohioans, Virginians, Missourians, Pennsylvanians, and the people of the Low Country (southeast coast). Others have focused on specific topics, e.g. CIVIL WAR POLITICAL GENERALS, CIVIL WAR WEST POINTERS FIRST AND LAST, AND CIVIL WAR BAPTISM OF FIRE AT FIRST BULL RUN.
Altogether, the books represent nearly 1000 biographies of Civil War personalities, with a reference to further, more in-depth reading about each personality.
Here is a link to a page which lists all of the books, summarizes what is in them, and provides information about purchases. I hope you will enjoy them, and I would be pleased to get your thoughts about them and this series. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L478G1F?binding=paperback&qid=1701614088&sr=1-3&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk
