I gotta say guys, and I'm venting a bit here, but personally, I am a bit disappointed that Carls original post has been read over 120 times, and only 3 people have responded to give thanks to a man that has done so much for Civil War collectors, and especially us into artillery. Michael, Woodenhead here on the forums, has given so much to not only these forums with his lengthy posts and exhaustive research and steel trap knowledge, but to all branches of Civil war collecting . Almost every collectors book has his imprint on it, including our 'bible' books. Chuck Jones fuze book, Pete Georges 1993 Field artillery book, and I could go on and on with all the books he is in. You didn't have to personally know him to understand what all he has done for our community - just look on your bookshelf
