Happy New Year, and welcome to the first Bugle for 2022!
A highlight of this month's edition is the review essay Hog Farm has contributed on American Civil War sites in the South and Midwest. The essay discusses HF's experiences visiting many of these sites over the past year, and includes assessments of the state of these sites as well as some very practical advice for visiting them (pack insect repellent if you're headed for sites in Missouri, for instance!).
The regular article news section features two new, and quite striking, featured pictures as well as the usual wrap-up of other recently promoted featured and A-class content.
Nick-D has reviewed a work on the little-remembered Australian Army deployment to Somalia in this month's book review section. It also includes a range of recent reviews published elsewhere, including what we think is our first - and hopefully not last - review sourced from the Black Girl Nerds website.
Your editors, Ian Rose ( talk) and Nick-D ( talk)
