Mardi Gras is huge here along the Gulf Coast region due to our French Catholic heritage. It was Mobile and not New Orleans where Mardi Gras began. And the tradition eventually gravitated west. As for me, I'm not a Catholic and do not celebrate the holiday. But my sweet tooth heartily embraces king cakes, and I greatly appreciate the two days off from school.
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of women disguised themselves as men and served in the Civil War. I present research, both previously published along with new discoveries, to document the lives and trials of these extraordinary women.

Manuscript Update!
On Groundhog's Day, I received another year on my age, word that the rodent has declared that this infernal winter will last six more weeks, and positive remarks from the peer reviewers regarding my manuscript on women soldiers! I announced back in November that I had submitted it to a university press and that they were interested. Click [HERE]. And now, upon the reviewers' recommendation for publication, the university press has offered me a contract! Happy birthday to me!!!
What's next? I have to submit a project description and my response to the reviewers' comments by March 1st along with other tasks. The editorial board will still have to approve publication, which would be at their meeting in April. And so I will wait to give more details about my manuscript at that time.
Until next formation...rest.
