Update on publication process

Things are proceeding really well with publication of "An Arch Rebel Like Myself": Dan Showalter and the Civil War in California and Texas. 

Gene and I have finished going over the publisher's proofs and sent our recommendations for changes/corrections, and have completely indexed the book for McFarland. These are the final steps before it is sent out for printing. At last notice, we have around 100 preorders (thank you, whoever you may be), which we are told is a high number of preorders. From indications we've received, we anticipate the book will be to the printer by August 1.

So all in all, it looks like we are well on schedule for the book's release date sometime early this Fall. With the index completed, it looks like the book will be right about 250 pages or so. It will also contain 18 images, three maps and two charts.

If you haven't checked it out, be sure to take a look at the book's page on our publisher's website: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/an-arch-rebel-like-myself/, or on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Arch-Rebel-Like-Myself-California/dp/1476674612/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1532052920&sr=8-1&keywords=arch+rebel+like+myself.
