JHUP Fall Catalog Questionnaire

On Friday, I received a request from The Johns Hopkins University Press staff to fill out a three-part questionnaire. It is designed to provide information from which copy can be written for the Fall 2008 catalog entry for Confederate Faces. I emailed the completed form this morning.

One of my answers includes the following quote from James E. Sefton of the California State University, Northridge, who reviewed Union Faces in the January 2005 issue of History: Reviews of New Books: "There are many books of Civil War letters, and photographs are common. But this book is a first: a collection of identified portraits accompanied by brief narratives of the subjects' lives."

Sefton's observation is equally valid for this companion volume.
