  • Wildly thanks for these presentations!

    These presentations from the recent and more distant past are a veritable course in Civil War history and historiography. Spanning several decades, little known and well-known historians unknowingly chart the trajectory and scholarship angles through multiple viewpoints over the years. From the famous to the obscure a vast array of Civil War subjects are covered. I cannot recommend this podcast enough and urge those who listen to consider joining The Civil War round table of Chicago.
