Rick Barram

Rick Barram lives in northern California and is a recently retired Social Studies and Theater Arts teacher from the Gateway Unified School District. A long-time student of history, Rick also enjoys Civil War Reenacting, which provided much of the background experience for his history of the 72nd New York. He also serves on the board of two Civil War related non-profit organizations and is a frequent contributor to "America's Civil War" magazine.

Rick's second book, "Dear Uncles: The Civil War Letters of Arthur McKinstry, a Soldier in the Excelsior Brigade," is due to be released sometime in the Fall of 2022 from Excelsior Editions, an imprint of State University of New York (SUNY) Press.
