About Me

My photo
J David Petruzzi
I'm an insurance broker in Western Pennsylvania. My interest in the American Civil War began while I was a child, and I've long been very interested in the cavalry. My first book appeared in 2006, the second in 2008, and my third book has appeared in June 2009. In June 2010, the first volume of an audio tour of the Gettysburg battlefield, based on my third book (with Steve Stanley) was released. In June 2011, my latest book with Steve (The New Gettysburg Campaign Handbook) was be released. I was recently named the Historical Advisor for the upcoming (2013) TV mini-series "To Appomattox."
