Thank you for visiting markrothert.org. This is intended to be a work in progress featuring my research-based writing on Civil War and World War I topics. The plan is to also include photography from Civil War sites and video of the same. The site is intended to span the broad spectrum from enthusiast to academic. If you have suggestions, comments, corrections, arguments, or positive criticism please feel free to contact me (m.rothert@yahoo.com). As the site grows tell your friends and colleagues, but most importantly, enjoy.
