Am working on a biography of Munford now. Completed a biography of Gen.. Rufus Barringer almost 2 years ago, under contract with Savis-Beatie.
Anyone with any prewar or postwar info on Munford, please contact me at srb1bus@verizon.net. Thanks.

Does anyone know of any other ongoing projects related to that theatre? It’d be great to correspond.

Stanley. Service in the Trans-Mississippi; service in the Western Theater; a cavalry commander; an infantry division commander; a corps commander (briefly); with a little controversy—Jonesboro–thrown into the mix. I’d certainly read it.

1. John A. Rawlins
2. James Harrison Wilson

At one time I understood that the reknowed Grant scholar and teacher, Dr John Y. Simon, was gathering material for a Rawlins volume. I learned this from a manuscripts and book seller at Galena, Illinois about a decade ago. Unfortunately Dr Simons passed away last year.

Harrison, I believe, has been overlooked to some degree. Certainly lesser lights have had their adventures retold by an admiring biographer. This may be somewhat understandable as in his autobiography Wilson seems to claim a fair amount of the success of Union arms to his own decisions and input. Never-the-less he had an active, adventurous life and served his commanders and his country well.

I’ve always wanted to write a bio of Billy Mahone, Richard Anderson or even “Extra-Billy”. I do advertising editing/writing at work but I’d be a novice at tackling Civil War pieces. I see a lot of familiar authors commenting on needed bios/battles. But there could be some “would-be” Civil War writers out there that would like to tackle some of these topics but don’t know where to start. Maybe the pros would be willing to mentor some new writers on what’s required and what to expect.

Michael Parrish authored a good biography of Richard Taylor in 1992. Titled RICHARD TAYLOR: SOLDIER PRINCE OF DIXIE, it was published by the University of North Carolina Press. I found the book to be quite helpful in my own research.

A full, modern biography of Emory Upton is called for. Peter Michie, his instructor at West Point wrote “Upton’s Life and Letters” in 1885 and Stephen Ambrose cobbled together a piece called “Upton and the Army” in 1964. David Fitzpatrick wrote an unpublished dissertation on Upton entitled, “Emory Upton, the Misunderstood Reformer,” in 1997. Does anyone know of an author working on a bio of Upton as I am considering it.

Smith, long overdue, had been completed by Bradford Wineman. My last correspondence with him indicated that it had been accepted for publication by a university press.
