Reviewers have this to say:

"It is always refreshing to review new work that covers an aspect of living history that has not been covered before...   It is doubtful that Mr. McElhinney left any other untapped sources on the subject.  Mr. McElhinney's work fills an information void for all those interested in pioneer troops.  I would highly recommend this manual for all living historians interested in this aspect of the Civil War."

Stephen Allie 
Director of the Frontier Army Museum

"It fills a much needed gap in the literature and will be extremely useful & informative to those who appreciate the fine points of Civil War living history."
