I was disappointed about that ad as well, Bryan, but I am willing to look beyond it given the financial challenges faced in producing a magazine as well as its track record.
I'll be honest, I am not at all a fan of Keith Poulter. I got screwed over by him before the magazine folded years ago and after contributing a string of boo…

I'll be honest, I am not at all a fan of Keith Poulter. I got screwed over by him before the magazine folded years ago and after contributing a string of book reviews. I've heard the same from other authors as well. I don't trust him and I don't recommend subscribing to his magazine. Thanks for the comment.
I understand your position, Kevin. I believe I can separate the who from the do in this case, but I won't be surprised if North & South Series II suffers the same fate as its predecessor. That said, I'll just buy his magazine from the bookstore.
I love that Keith Poulter does not support the Lost Cause at all, but I'll never forget his interview with Gerry Prokopowicz on Civil War Talk Radio, during his publihing the original N&S. He said he went into business for himself because he "absolutely, positively cannot stand being told what to do." Fast forward to his magazine going belly-up. I was not surprised at all when that happened.
By the way, I saw Mr. Newsome on sutler row at the Olustee reenactment last weekend. He also comes to Cedar Creek. Disgusting anybody even bothers with him.
I ran the magazine section for a large Borders Books in Rockville, MD in 1997, when the first issue of N&S arrived. I was blown away by the quality of the articles and Keith's commitment to maintaining a high level of scholarship for a popular magazine.
Of course, I now know that a lot of that had to do with Terry Johnston's involvement, who, of course, now oversees the Civil War Monitor magazine.
