My latest article is now available in Carologue Magazine, a publication of the South Carolina Historical Society. It is the featured article depicted on the cover.

On July 10, 1863, under a dense fog, three federal steamers with a regiment of U.S. Colored Troops steamed up the South Edisto River with the mission of destroying the Charleston and Savannah railroad bridge at Jacksonboro, SC. They engaged in a heavy skirmish with artillery batteries and the Sixth South Carolina Cavalry under the command of Col. Hugh Kerr Aiken. This is the most in-depth treatment of this action published.

In this action, Fenton Hall was captured and then seemingly disappears from historical record. Hall is one of the subjects of the Boys of Diamond Hill which will be released as an expanded Second Edition in July. It contains updated information and thirty never published letters written by William and Daniel Boyd.
