Volume III of Army of the Potomac

... where is it? On his website, Beatie said "check back in Jan. 2005 for a publication date. Color me worried. His publisher makes no mention of it on the Da Capo site.

If it's any consolation, you can read an extensive multipart account of Rafuse's McClellan's War on Brett Schulte's blog.

(I returned to Rafuse last weekend for a few score pages and was again overwhelmed with how dense it is, factually, the Civil War equivalent of a Scottish (traditional fruit) wedding cake.)

[Postscript 4:40 p.m. A friendly reader informs me that Volume III is surely coming out but that there is a level of authorial dissatisfaction with Da Capo that raises the possibility of alternate publishing arrangements delaying the release of this title.]
