Reviews

The Perfect Scout is a good read that will appeal to a general audience as well as scholars. George Quimby had a gift for storytelling and a great sense of humor. --Lorien Foote, author of The Gentlemen and the Roughs: Violence, Honor, and Manhood in the Union Army An important contribution to Civil War scholarship. It provides the perspective of a scout, and there are few published narratives by men who held this important role. --Wendy Venet, author of A Changing Wind: Commerce and Conflict in Civil War Atlanta
