Notes from The Author:
I came up with the idea of writing ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH a number of years ago...
Actually, the credit for the idea of a book should go to many of my Pards and Friends.
I had been keeping a diary detailing the escapades and happenings at all the reenacting events I had participated in and was usually pressed into recounting some of the adventures around the campfire or at parties, etc. ,by both the folks that had been there and others who wanted to know about what we did, how we did it, where we went, and so forth.
I was prevailed upon by many good folks on a number of occasions to put it all together in a book and get it published so that everyone could share our experiences and find out what is REALLY involved. Of course, as you will read, a fair amount of amusement was involved and a whole lot of fun was had at everyone’s expense – particularly my own!
But even more than that, I learned a lot of lessons while participating as a Civil War reenactor that have been beneficial to my life in general.
When I realized that I might be able to contribute in literary form and help out others – while entertaining and educating them at the same time – I knew my mission was set!
It took me a while to finally get it all together (this one being my first book!), but it has finally come to fruition in a work that I am proud to claim as my own.
I started and stopped a number of times during the writing; I wanted to present everything in a fashion that EVERYONE could understand, appreciate and enjoy, and it took me several attempts to finally arrive at this end result.
It’s a collection of some of everything I’ve ever experienced while reenacting and is packed with Humor, Stories, Anecdotes, Who-What-When-Where-Why-How, and my own version of Philosophy and definitions of Good, Bad and Ugly.
I do hope you’re sufficiently enticed to pick up a copy and find out what it's all about.
I will guarantee that you will certainly be much more than just entertained!
Many Thanks and God Bless!
