Interesting piece in the above on Civil War sketch artists with some nice examples. Also small piece on photography of reenactments using period methods. Edition comes with a nice educational poster of the march to Gettysburg backed with a Civil Rights time line on the other side for those who could use it in Schools.

Appears to be the same one mentioned by BD! Doh!

It's a nice article. I subscribe to NG and I was very pleased to see the article and the poster. Eric

I was pleased to see one of my books referenced by National Geographic.

Yes I saw that, well done. I was going to claim you as one of our own in my OP but thought that might a bit cheeky! :o)

If anyone has an iPad, check out the digital edition. It has an interactive map/timeline, March to Gettysburg, of two ACW regiments showing their movements on a map day by day for an entire year. I really wasn't expecting much from the "tablet edition" of NG, but it is very well done and the interactivity really does add value rather than just being a schtick. The photos also look astounding on the new retina screen if you've got the latest.
