This review is from: Southern Bronze (Hardcover)

One of the reasons I know that the books from Glen Dedmondt are excellent is because I am fortunate enough to know the man. I'm in an organization that he helped to rebuild. I was the editor of the newsletter and had been the first one to read his submissions. Mr. Dedmondt researches his research so you know that what he writes will be correct! Many authors of history will just write the popular word in the sense of thier subject, in a way, making a fool of our brains in thier "teaching" words. I have learned a lot from Mr. Dedmondt, not only from his books, but also from being his freind. Everyone who has enjoyed his books might want to know that his keen knowledge of the period of the war between the states contain many aspects of the period. I might add that his wife Donna has also been a mentor to many women. I'm sad to say that we have not been in touch for quite a few years, but that's neither here nor there. I look forward very much to read what he has written next. Thank you, Dellas Bergholm.
