As a lifelong resident of the Gulf Coast, Brueske became fascinated with local Civil War era history, in particular the 1865 campaign for Mobile. His first book, "The Last Siege," is a result of many years of research on the Mobile Campaign. He founded the Mobile Area Civil War Round Table and regularly gives talks on Gulf Coast Civil War related topics. Brueske is currently the Head Track & Field Coach at the University of South Alabama, where he is also pursuing a graduate degree in history. Brueske is a member of the Friends of Historic Blakeley State Park, Mobile Historical Society, and the History Museum of Mobile.
His upcoming book, "Digging All Night and Fighting All Day, The Civil War Siege of Spanish Fort and the Mobile Campaign, 1865," is the first focused study of the siege of Spanish Fort. It will be published in October 2024.
