Eric Wittenberg – Noah Ferry Press Release

In observance of the birthday of the late Eric J. Wittenberg, we chose today to make this announcement… Fox Run Publishing is proud to announce that we will be releasing this August (2026) a new book that Eric wrote before his tragic passing. Eric, as many know, was very prolific, so he had several works completed before his stroke made further work impossible. From my personal conversations and emails with Eric, I know that the story of Major Noah Ferry of the 5th Michigan Cavalry was one that he was fascinated with and passionately wanted to be told. It was also the last work he completed. I am honored that he trusted Fox Run Publishing and me enough to bring it to print. – Keith Jones

Noah Ferry was one of the wealthiest and most influential men in Michigan. Major Ferry and his men were only in their second major combat on July 3, 1863, where his life ended abruptly. In this well-crafted, well-researched biography of Maj. Noah H. Ferry, multi-talented and prolific military author Eric J. Wittenberg presents the compelling tale of Ferry’s life, legacy, and military experience. We learn about Ferry’s family legacy, uncanny business and leadership abilities, and finally his rise in rank from captain of a company of cavalry to a charismatic major destined to sacrifice his life in a heretofore obscure farm field in Gettysburg.
