Faces of the Confederacy: An Album of Southern Soldiers and Their Stories will be available in November. The book, a companion volume to Faces of the Civil War: An Album of Union Soldiers and Their Stories, will be available in November. Nick Sekela will carry both, and by special arrangement I will inscribe and sign any purchases through Nick's site. The Confederate book features original photographs and profiles of seventy-seven soldiers, all between the rank of private and lieutenant colonel. Their stories are unique entry points into the battles, campaigns and other operations of the war. It is similar in content and design to the Union book. I am honored to have received an endorsement from one of my heroes, Edwin C. Bearss: "Ronald S. Coddington has scored a masterpiece again. As a follow-up to his much applauded Faces of the Civil War featuring Union soldiers and sailors, he has authored a sequel. This time Confederates are center stage as they proudly pose for the all-important cartes de visite that are as treasured today by collectors and buffs as by their home folks and comrades of long ago. Complementing these are biographical profiles that inform but do not overwhelm, reminding us that each haunting face is a real person who lived, served and died many years ago."
