The 'Australian CWRT Bugle Call' -- a great resource!

  One of the most amazing things related to the study of the American Civil War period is how it has inspired individuals and groups across the entire world. Among the groups best known for carrying on such research are the Australian Civil War Roundtables--part of the International Roundtable association. There are several of these and the Queensland, Australia CWRT editor, Mr. Taylor, has edited an excellent newsletter over many years. He has compiled--through his bi-monthly publication--a wide array of articles,  done some amazing research, and put together some neat tidbits of information that is sure to appeal to all ages. Even better, he's posted an archive of the group's newsletters on the internet for all to see!
