To my wonderful wife, Jean, for her ongoing support and belief in all that I do, you are the best part of my life! To my daughters, Emily and Shannon, who in their own right are becoming talented sensitives and paranormal investigators, you both are the light of my life. This book, on my part, is also dedicated to my brother John, who has crossed the great beyond and is still telling me where to point the camera! To those brave souls who have ventured forth with me on many a battlefield—Mike Hartness, Darryl Smith, Jack Roth, Mary Burke-Russell, Melody Hood Bussey, Terry Templaski, Richard Flaum, Susan Eshleman, Peggy Cole, Andrew Dodson, Harry Grant, Chris Carouthers, and Karen Mitchell and so many others—this book is also for you. And for all of the men who gave their last full measure, regardless of what war or conflict, I thank you for your service.

I want to thank all of my friends and family members who have supported my research endeavors over the years. I especially want to thank Dr. Andrew Nichols, who has not only been a true mentor to me, but a dear friend. I also want to thank Scott Flagg, with whom I’ve shared many profound paranormal experiences and enjoyed traveling around the country. A huge thanks to my wife, Lisa, whose patience and understanding have allowed me to pursue my dreams with clarity of mind. And finally, a big thank you to my son, Nathaniel, whose open-minded curiosity to all things mysterious constantly reminds me that searching for the truth is not only a worthwhile cause, but also a freedom that is our birthright. And finally, to the brave individuals who fought at the Battle of Gettysburg, I honor your courage and sacrifice.
