New Magazine Coming?

[mike44thva]

As someone who is slooooowly reading through all of the issues of The Watchdog (Thanks again for your help Craig!), the passion of the reviewers & writers is felt in every article. When this new publication comes out, sign me up!

Limited actual printing going to specific areas..ie. Sutler Row is good sence..And having the basic mag on line is good business also...... Just as long as my troops don't let it get in the way of their camp dutys or drill......
some of this social media is a disease.... At our last event I had to take the Captains phone from him because he was on facebook instead of filling out reports .......like he can write anyway.... Just sayin........Really ..Good luck will keep up on your progress and contact you on ad info ect Paul Lopes

I would love to see something other than the old Gazette. But I am getting gun shy. Spent good money on what I thought was 2 new magazines by subscription. To watch them sink faster than a cannonball. I was out the money. I will buy individual copies now instead, money is to hard to come by in todays financial situation. I would wait and see what it track record is going to be first.

That is why "free" in PDF format is the plan here. No subscription fees. I got jobbed on those same two and they were good
quality publications that failed fast. You want an issue to save or an article? Print it. Just make a battlefield preservation donation to the WD at some point on the honor system in whatever amount, when you have a few sheckels left over. Strictly voluntary, though. Most will want to support that part of the venture since we all pretty much donate to the same preservation causes already.

Nothing against the Gazette...I published plenty of material in there, but this is going to be research
based. Journal of the Company of Military Historians wants an ad swap. Looks like July/August 2012
will be the first edition. There are already several dozen advertisers lined up and enough funds in hand to
get this off the ground. Then it sinks or swims on its own merits.

...with no camp gossip or event reports.

Glory, hallelujah. I would suggest no "letters to the editor" either.

[Craig L Barry]

Correct, no letters to the editor. I have seen the website proto-type. You know how the pages usually scroll up and down in PDF?
This web based magazine will turn pages like a paper copy, like the book pages do on a Nook. Going forward with it, and the magazine should be up
and running by July.

Need civilian material sent to digesteditor1@gmail.com. Have to balance out the content.

[Jeffrey S. Quigley]

I really like the idea of the pages turning like a regular magazine. Can't wait for the first issue to be released.

I hope to have a product review of the new Pedersoli P-53 Enfield in the first edition of C&S Digest coming out in July.
The Pedersoli is in hand, and the details will be worth reading about.

Here is the website http://www.citizenssoldiersdigest.com/. The magazine is up.
The review is in it. The magazine loaded fine for me but we have heard a few gripes
from folks with difficulty loading it. We are working with the webmaster. Or try

Check it out. No fee or subscription required. Great piece on the Western migration.
19th century material culture includes the Civil War but does not exhaust the subject matter.
