BOOK BY DR. JERRY SHIELDS Dr Jerry Shields has produced an in-depth study of the most famous Civil War Correspondent, "George Alfred Townsend" who used the pen name "Gath". His book will be released by the publisher about the middle of April and copies can be reserved either by e-mail to middlton@dmv.com with the word reserve in the subject line and body, or directly from Dr Shields at: Dr Jerry Shields, 19 Tam O'Shanter Court Dover, DE 19904-2339 The book will be 375 pages, and is being published by the Delaware Historical Commission. Cost is be $20.00 but Dr Shields will dispense with shipping and handling charges (within the U.S.A.) and sign copies if requested. When Dr Shields supply is exhausted, the book may still be available from the Delaware Historical Commission however, I currently have no information regarding their pricing or ordering details.
