Comments on: North & South Magazine https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=1315 Bringing obscurity into focus Thu, 11 Apr 2019 15:39:26 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.0.22 By: Russ https://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=1315&cpage=1#comment-100254 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:57:27 +0000 http://civilwarcavalry.com/?p=1315#comment-100254 I did business with 3W, Poulter’s game company back in the day, and it is sad to see that he has burned bridges in the magazine business the same way he became persona non grata in the gaming hobby. But North and South wasn’t his first magazine. His company, 3W, once owned Strategy and Tactics Magazine with is the flagship magazine for the wargaming hobby. I was looking at the last issue of Strategy and Tactics Magazine that was put together right before 3W sold it, and he was not a good editor then either. The game was by a well-known and respected designer but the rules were so badly edited that the game is widely considered unplayable. The company produced quite a number of good games but poor rules editing was a persistent problem.

Sadly, I think that anyone who knew his mismanagement of that company should have known better than to deal with him later. He did the same thing then with respect to failing to pay his creditors.

I wasn’t impressed by the conversation I had with Mr. Poulter and it would seem that he saw these publications as cash cows with out thinking about the time and dedication needed to make these magazines successful. I was wondering if anyone knows about an article written on the war of Florida’s rivers that was published in North and South Magazine. Any help would be appreciated and I would like to see if I can obtain a copy of that article. Any help would be appreciated and thanks.

N&S started with a bang. No longer. Keith claimed to be very excited about two recent submissions: Hawaiians in the Civil War and Irish Drinking Habits–An Analysis. I rushed them to completuion. That was years ago. The rest is silence.

So my wife ordered the three year subscription and the first two issues. I guess that’s money down the drain.

I’m sorry that it has come to and end. I have been a civil war fan ever since I was a kid. I cam across some of the magazines in a book shop. All that I want to know is, can I get copies of the magazines that were produced?

It was an article about the civil-military conflict between Rear Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont and Gideon Welles over the ironclad attack on Charleston in April 1863. The article was adapted from my book, “Lincoln’s Tragic Admiral: The Life of Samuel Francis Du Pont,” UVa Press, 2005.

I also think it’s suspicious that they were trying to get people to subscribe to a “lifetime” subscription. If I don’t get my issues that I paid for someone should fuck this Keith right in his ass! This is bullshit.

He wrecked 3W as well S&T. Not to mention his unscrupulous and self absorbed business reasonings. I’ve known Poulter for a long time my mother worked loyally with Keith for a long time (near 20 years) and throughout that time he remained half loyal to my mother and all his employee’s. He was notoriously late in paying my mother as well asked too much too often. The readers of North and south will never understand the level of commitment Joyce N. Gusner put into N&S. That Was My moms magazine, Cover to Cover!!! I watched years of her live spent talking to Cadmus placing ads and getting her layout perfect and that is just the tip of the ice burg. Keith burdened my mother with an excessive work load near the end of their association in order to facilitate his “hasty” trips to China to see some woman. Keith has always had great ideas too bad his values and morals are kaput. His business practice and execution are impaired by his personal agenda unfortunately to the detriment of N&S subscribers, stockholders and employees.

It is truly a shame too see all the hard work by the real N&S engineers be thrown to the side like an unwanted toy.

I have authored 2 books, Pittsburgh During the American Civil War, and Our Honored Dead, Allegheny county During the Civil War, so know something about the little known facts regarding Pittsburgh during the war. I queried N & S about writing an article on the Fort Pitt Foundry, one of the largest producers of heavy artillery during the war, amoung them – five 20-inch cannons. After waiting about 6 months for a reply, I was told that the article probably would not be of much interest to the readers, SAY WHAT – aside from my book, little has been written about this little known foundry. Will not renew my subscription once it expires. Anyone out there interested in an article on the founry?

If you would have told me 5 years ago that N&S would come to this, I would have refused to believe it. Seeing all of the respected names in this comments thread who had negative interactions with Mr. Poulter confirms it for me. I guess I shouldn’t ask for the subscription money I had invested for the next two years back eh? Ouch.

On a more upbeat note, I have noticed the positive improvement in CWT and ACW since Dana Shoaf took over.
