Fight As Long As Possible: The Battle of Newport Barracks, February 2, 1864 to be released June 21



  • Today I sent my book to the printer and expect copies within a week. It will retail for $15.95 and can be purchased from the Ten Roads Publishing website or Amazon.
  • I am also starting to take dates for speaking or book signings. So any groups who would like to have me just shoot me an email at eric@tenroadspublishing.com and we can set things up.
  • Once again wanted to let everyone know that I will be in Newport for around ten days starting on Friday, June 16. I will be taking a part in the First Annual Newport Heritage Days that will be June 25-27 in Newport, North Carolina.
  • On June 26 I will be conducting a living history program portraying a solider from the 7th North Carolina and later one from the 17th North Carolina. Both of the units had connections to Newport Barracks during the war. I will be discussing the life of a solider as well as doing a few musket demonstrations.
  • On June 27, I will be conducting two tours on the Battle of Newport Barracks. The times will be confirmed soon and once I know I will post it here. I hope everyone can make it to this event, it will be a great time and hopefully the start of a long tradition in Newport.
