The Colonial Chronicle is currently on an extended hiatus. It will cease publication as a quarterly newsletter after the completion of the fourth and final issue of Volume #6. Current subscribers can be assured they will receive that final issue once it has been published. It is hoped The Colonial Chronicle can continue in one form or another in the coming years. However, the methodology has yet to be determined.

While you are waiting, please consider purchasing a copy of
The Greatest Hits of the Colonial Chronicle: The Rev-War Years.
