Surratt Courier

[L Verge]

Surratt members should expect their June issue of the Surratt Courier in the mail any day now. The main article is a very interesting one on a British citizen's attempt to get into the Confederacy to join a Southern cavalry unit. It is a very well-written synopsis of an 1863 book entitled Border and Bastille -- and the article is written by a member of this forum, Jill Mitchell. The gist of it is that the gentleman didn't see much of America except for treks through Maryland looking for a route across the Potomac and inside the walls of the Old Capitol Prison.
