Small World

The first profile in the manuscript, Capt. Richard Curzon Hoffman, a Marylander who served in the Twenty-first Virginia Infantry and the Thirtieth Battalion Virginia Sharpshooters, is also the subject of a sketch written by Bob Brugger, The Johns Hopkins University Press acquisitions editor who played such an important role in Union Faces and the current Confederate project. Bob is working on a book of past presidents of the Maryland Club, including Hoffman. I plan to incorporate some of Bob’s research into my profile.
