Correction
The book review of Richard N. Griffin’s Three Years a Soldier: The Diary and Newspaper Correspondence of Private George Perkins, Sixth New York Independent Battery, 1861–1864, in September 2009, misspells the author’s name as Griffith.
The September 2009 issue of Civil War History 55(3) included a review of Beleaguered Winchester: A Virginia Commumity at War, 1861–1865 by Richard R. Duncan. The review incorrectly listed the title as Embattled Winchester. The publisher regrets the error.
