Brigadier General) when I participate in CW Living History Programs.<BR/><BR/>Tell "Harry" to recheck his facts. GEN Poe was in Kentucky in July 1863 serving as the chief engineer of the 23rd Corps, Army of the Ohio and missed the Battle of Gettysburg.<BR/><BR/>Email me - I have a very interesting story about GEN Poe and the Carolinas Campaign. If it's too late to add to your book maybe you could put it in the next edition.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>Tom in Beaufort, SC<BR/>1missouriengineersc@embarqmail.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756884306012466304.post-69984865113990308722008-08-05T10:17:00.000-05:002008-08-05T10:17:00.000-05:00Would like to be on your email list.

Also put a big Confederate battle flag on the cover, flying over the heads of Forrest,Jackson and Poe.<BR/><BR/>It will fly off the shelves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756884306012466304.post-64035124415403798112008-03-25T15:32:00.000-05:002008-03-25T15:32:00.000-05:00Thanks Brett.

Another benefit (I think) is that having the phrase "Great Lakes" in the title will immediately put the book on the radar of Great Lakes / Midwest regional history buffs, even if they're not students of the Civil War or particularly aware of who Poe was. That's not the case with the other option.Paul Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338586236962291817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6756884306012466304.post-74284537266689705922008-03-25T11:35:00.000-05:002008-03-25T11:35:00.000-05:00Paul,I think I like the sound of Great Lakes Engin...Paul,<BR/><BR/>I think I like the sound of Great Lakes Engineer better.
