Civil War Regiments appears to be the only true refereed academic journal (quarterly) for the booming Civil War market. It was quite refreshing to see such a detailed examination of a western theater campaign. The marketability of eastern campaign themes and marquee battles such as Gettysburg is disportionately high. True scholars of the Civil War appreciate the significance of the western campaigns and the preponderance of so many myths created during the biased postwar period that have in themselves become a source for many flawed 20th century publications. This particular issue of Civil War Regiments finally does justice to one the wars almost forgotten and usually misrepresented units, the Regular Brigade of the Army of the Cumberland. Anyone who has ever been affliated with the army or the military will appreciate the complete and objective treatment given to the Regular Brigade at Chickamauga by Major Mark Johnson. At last the Regulars have been revealed for what they were. A standard of discpline and dedication that was proven repeatedly in all of the major western campaigns. A legacy that continues today in the modern army.
