March/April 2016 Issue

Our March/April 2016 issue is ready and should be mailed shortly. We welcome back one of our sesquicentennial authors for our feature article. Karen Stokes is becoming a regular in these pages and in this issue she shares with us her essay on The Memoirs of Louis Manigault. This really shows some of the depths the Yankees stooped to further their war efforts. Compatriot Tom M. Root, a member of the Admiral Semmes Camp 11, Mobile, Alabama, shares with us a very interesting article on Admiral  Semmes through an examination of his Memoirs. Admiral Semmes was unreconstructed to the end and didn’t mind who knew it. A very good read. Plus, all of our usual features. Keep an eye out for your copy!
