I was pleased and gratified to learn that my book The Rashness of That Hour: Politics, Gettysburg, and Downfall of Confederate Brigadier General Alfred Iverson has been award the James I. Robertson Prize Award as the best new book on Confederate history from the Robert E. Lee Civil War Round Table's Library and Research Center and the Roundtable's Bachelder-Coddington Award for the best new book on Gettysburg. I would like to thank the members of the two award committees for this unexpected honor. Best of all is the confirmation that others find the story of General Alfred Iverson as interesting and informative as I do.
None of this would have been possible without the help from numerous individuals who assisted me along the way. While far from inclusive, I would like to especially thank the following for their help: J. D. Petruzzi, Gary Kross, Henry Mintz, Steve French, Chuck Teague, and Robert K. Krick. At the top of the list of course is Ted Savas, whose confidence in me and superb work on sharpening my manuscript made it all possible. Working with Ted and the other members of the Savas-Beatie staff has made my efforts a pure joy. Thanks again to everyone involved.
