"I was digging through regional history titles when Belleville and Nutley in the Civil War immediately grabbed my attention. Hyperlocal Civil War history is rare enough but the level of detail, the personal depth, and the care you bring to documenting these New Jersey towns’ contributions makes this work stand out in a massive way.

"Your profiles of the soldiers who gave their lives, the breakdown of the battle campaigns they fought in, and the broader look at local militia participation all create a powerful, humanizing narrative. This isn’t just a historical record  it’s a preservation of memory. Readers get a clearer picture of how communities far from the frontlines still played a real, measurable role in shaping America’s most defining conflict."
