Again in honor of the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the War Between the States, there is a Civil War Trails feature. One of our earlier contributors, John Gifford, had provided you with a great story about a brand new musuem related to the War Between the States in Missouri.

That devastating war is a subject that has and will continue to draw writers because of the dramatic potential and historic significance. My newest novel, Under A Bloody Flag, deals with the roots of that war in Kansas and Missouri. It will be followed by the second book, Under a Black Flag, as a series I called War in the West.

In addition we have a great story about the West from another regular contributor, Tom Straka. One bran new contributor, Persis Granger is giving us a glimpse of life in the Adirondack Mountain. Our other regular contributors, Mary Emma, Anne, Leigh and myself have also provided you some great stories this issue.
