Quincy's story is pieced together from heirlooms rescued from the fog of time and preserved by his caring family. Quincy's Journal of 1863, letters, his Bugle, documents, memories, GAR relics and other artifacts are spliced into a timeline format, based on the history of the 35th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment and that of the storied Union Ninth Corps.

This book is different in that it contains new material and by an author directly related to the principle subject. It presents material and artifacts never before seen or present to the public. It would be of special interest to readers of American history and especially of the American Civil War. Most Civil War books re-tell the same old story or parse some specific battle or campaign. This book also includes material that would be of interest to the general public. The format could serve as a pattern for other persons pursuing the story of a family hero with notable life accomplishments. We all have ancestors! Many have ancestors with stories worthy sharing but that are slowly being lost to living memory.

The now, Ashokan Center for Natural Science, History, Music and the Arts. This is the magical place that inspired Jay Unger and Molly Mason's Ashokan Farewell, which became the award winning theme music for Ken Burns' The Civil War.

He also has a Masters Degree in Elementary Education, specializing in Environmental Education. He holds a New York State Permanent Certificate to teach all primary grades as well as secondary school biology and general science.
