Mr. Aubrecht continues to shine light on the ways the early Black and White communities of our continent were woven together.

This is wonderful. It reminds me of Alan Taylor's eye-opening book, The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia. Enslaved people were buffeted between the hopes of promises of freedom and the cruel opportunism of officials on both sides. I look forward to reading more of your work.

I know you are concerned about the environment. You might enjoy my past piece on the effects of the Civil War on the environment. Just search my name.

Yes. I read it. I appreciated your perspective on a seldom-discussed aspect of warfare. Apart from human and material costs, wars like Ukraine, Iran, etc. devastate the environment, often for generations to come.
