Of significance to Disney's America researchers is the publication in 2003 of Shelby Foote: A Writer's Life by C. Stuart Chapman by the University Press of Mississippi. Shelby Foote became the key spokesperson for Protect Historic America. Chapman, in 2005 a Congressional press secretary in Washington, briefly addresses Foote's influence in defeating Eisner's plans, but more importantly gives the world the first biography of the historian/novelist made famous by Ken Burns' documentary on the Civil War. Chapman uses Avon Edward Foote's Chotankers as the cited reference for the Northern Virginia history of Shelby's family in the University Press of Mississippi bio book.
RANDOM HOUSE publishes the three volume series, The Civil War by Shelby Foote.
