EL DORADO HILLS, Calif. - Californer -- Savas Beatie author John Horn was recently selected to receive the 2019 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award in the Unit History category for The Petersburg Regiment in the Civil War: A History of the 12th Virginia Infantry from John Brown's Hanging to Appomattox, 1859-1865.
Author John Horn reflected, "My heart is full of gratitude to the Army Historical Foundation for selecting The Petersburg Regiment for this award. May the glory be to God, the soldiers on whose writings the book drew, my publisher Ted Savas and his staff, my mapmaker and reader Hampton Newsome, my friend Ralph Peters who wrote the Foreword, the other readers of the manuscript, my family, my office staff, my teachers and everyone else who contributed to the composition of the book. This is one of the happiest, most humbling moments of my life."
