The Saber and Scroll
Our bookworms worked overtime to complete not two but four excellent book reviews on topics which range from ; biographical sketches of prominent naval figures from Ancient Greece to the present-day ; the role of American Indians , debtors , and slaves in the American Revolution in Virginia ; the Earp Brothers , Doc Holliday , and their vendetta ride from hell ; and finally a profile of American explorer John Charles Frémont .
To round out the issue , we have included a double helping of museum reviews : The National Museum of African American History and Culture , Washington DC , and Colonial Williamsburg , Williamsburg , Virginia .
While I ’ ve been “ missing in action ” through much of the hard work converting my humble Cape Cod bookstore into an online book emporium , the Journal has not been rudderless . If it were not for Jeff Ballard ( Managing Editor ) and Chris Schloemer ( Senior Editor ), this edition might not have come together . My hat is off to them for everything they are doing during this trying time .
The staff of The Saber and Scroll Journal has something special planned to close 2020 , a special super-sized edition devoted to military history whose theme is “ America at War .” In the meantime , we hope everyone stays safe and well .
Take care . Lew Taylor Editor-In-Chief
