Every now and then, my issue may have a tear in the protective cover, which is the reason for this cover. But, receiving issues damaged or unreadable on a regular basis is not acceptable. I had this problem when I served as editor of the NC Division newsletter. We solved it by complaining to the local postmasters. Not just once, but every time it happens because it is obvious it is being damaged on purpose by post office employees. In one case we even called our US senator’s office and had them call on the individual’s behalf. Postmasters don’t like receiving calls from US senators’ offices. The situation cleared up immediately. Remember, Federal employees work for us, the taxpayers, and we have every right to expect our mail to be delivered in good condition.Frank B.

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 <i>The Memoirs of Louis Manigault</i>. 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 <i>Memoirs</i>. 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!Frank B.

Our January/February 2015 issue is at the printers! We start the new year out with a bang by welcoming back Karen Stokes to our pages with excerpts from her recent book, <i>South Carolina Civilians in Sherman’s Path</i>. This helps to reverse the recent trend to portray Sherman as not such a bad guy by the political correct crowd. Also, Joanne Cullom Moore returns and shares her essay on <i>The Immortal 600</i>. No one should have low blood pressure after reading these two articles.Frank B.

Our November-December 2014 issue marks the end of our Sesquicentennial series. Past Commander-in-Chief Chris Sullivan shares his essay, <i>Every Man to the Front</i>, to close out the series. Christian Hamilton shares his senior thesis titled <i>Lincoln’s War and Historical Revisionism: The South and Its Constitutional Authority to Secede From the Union</i>.
