He now serves as historian for the city of Newport News. He has also served as an adjunct professor at the College of William and Mary, the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University. Quarstein is the author of fifteen books, including A HISTORY OF IRONCLADS and CSS VIRGINIA: SINK BEFORE SURRENDER. His 2011 release, THE MONITOR BOYS, received The Society for History in the Federal Government’s 2012 Henry Adams Prize for excellence in historical literature.  An avid duck hunter, Quarstein lives on Old Point Comfort, Virginia and on his farm near Chestertown, Maryland.
