THE MEETUP
First, let me say how much Sarah Closson, my wife Zoe, and I enjoyed seeing all of you at Gettysburg and Antietam just 12 or so days ago. Organizing one of these is a lot more work than you might think, but it is worth all of it.
As I have said many times, I see a larger objective here beyond being just a publisher. Many years ago, I realized that producing books offered a larger opportunity to create a community (wide, deep, enthusiastic, and informed) to perpetuate the study of the American Civil War.
These are two of my life's grand objectives: publishing and building the community. I take them both very seriously.
Publishing in and of itself, however, will not build a community. It is imperative to engage, to interact on many different levels, to meet people, and do what I can to help other people meet one another.
This is one of the reasons we began the Savas Beatie Author-Reader Meetups. It is gratifying to see so many good people coming together to break bread, raise a glass, take pictures, talk, engage, listen, learn, and walk the fields--together.
These events create friendships that would have otherwise never come about, and they will help further the study of the field we love so much.
Would you like another word to describe all this?
Camaraderie.
Look in the mirror and take a bow. None of this is possible without YOU.
All of us are in this together, and all of us together make a community.
Now do something with this energy and the multiple threads of opportunity: Engage someone who has only a passing interest in history or the war; invite him/her to the battlefields and to introductory-level books to read and enjoy. Help them catch the Civil War virus. Find younger folks and introduce them to the hobby.
Proselytize.

This is what we call the "Ears Back" game. If she's upstairs, I can't get to my office without her demanding that I play. Check out the concentration in her eyes. Almost as if I have Mark Wade's face painted on my hand.

Who has a particular book or books they intend to keep forever. I do. List one or two special ones for me, and why.
Grant at 200 book
WATCH AND ENJOY!
There really is nothing like watching author Chris Mackowski open a shipment of books.
See the latest here now, an unveiling of “Grant at 200: Reconsidering the Life and Legacy of Ulysses S. Grant.” Co-edited by Chris and Frank J. Scaturro, this collection of essays by some of today’s leading Grant scholars offers fresh perspectives on Grant’s military career and presidency, as well as underexplored personal topics such as his faith and his family life.
