Generals in Bronze by William Styple

[Joseph...@verizon.net]

A friend just informed me of William Styple's new book which he
saw on C-SPAN's Book TV. The reviews on Amazon and Barnes & Noble are
of the raving variety.

Apparently streaming video of the program is available at
http://www.booktv.org/feature/index.asp?segid=6453&schedID=387 or

This is from that site:

Description: In the late 19th and early 20th century, artist James E.
Kelly (1855 to 1933) conducted extensive interviews with over forty
union generals of the civil war. Kelly sketched the generals for
recreations of famous scenes, and for a series of bronze relief
portraits. James Kelly took detailed notes of his conversations and
tried unsuccessfully to publish the material as part of a memoir. Book
TV interviewed William Styple at the New York Historical Society, where
James Kelly's original interview notes and sketches were deposited
after his death. Mr. Styple believes that no other historian has looked
at the thousands of pages of documents. Some information in these notes
may lead to new information about important civil war events. "Generals
in Bronze" is a collection of interview transcripts compiled from the
original interview notes.

Author Bio: William Styple has edited and written many books about the
civil war including, "The Little Bugler", "Writing and Fighting the
Civil War: 500 Union Soldier Letters from the Battlefield", and
"Writing and Fighting the Confederate War: The Letters of Peter
Alexander Confederate War Correspondent." He lives in Kearny, New
Jersey and is president of Belle Grove Publishing Company.
