Received this communication from General Hills:
“The book has not yet been officially released, and it is scheduled to be mailed out to approximately 475 members of the Blue and Gray Education Society early next week. Shortly thereafter it will be on sale on the Blue and Gray Education Society website (just Google Blue and Gray Education Society) by going to the site and clicking onto the bookstore. . . .”
He goes on to mention a few other things, but the next paragraph reflects the selflessness and dedication that General Hills and others have for Civil War preservation:
“I donated all of my work, to include research, writing, art, map work, and layout to Blue and Gray . . . . A friend of mine, . . . in Texas donated the funds to print the book. So, whatever Blue and Gray, Raymond, and Grand Gulf can make on book sales will be 100% profit for their preservation missions. I delivered a box of 40 books to Grand Gulf Military Park for the Visitor Center in the park to sell, and I left 30 copies at the Raymond Visitor Center for Friends of Raymond. I donated the books to both Grand Gulf and Raymond for them to sell to advance their interpretation missions. I do not think that Friends of Raymond has a sales outlet at this time. . . .”
“As of this very moment, the only place to buy the book is at GrandGulf Military Park. In the next week or so I am sure it will be available on the Blue and Gray Education Society website. In the future, I hope that it will be stocked at the NPS Military Park Visitor Centers in both Vicksburg and Corinth, and perhaps at the Two Museums bookstore in Jackson.”
