Excited to receive this new title from @uvapress.bsky.social by Nelson Lankford. With so little written about postwar Richmond, this is a much anticipated work by this well-known scholar. I'm currently gathering materials for a project involving Richmond in 1870, so I can't want to dive into this.

Audio version now available for preorder. @univpressofkansas.bsky.social @tantoraudio.bsky.social

A Little Good News: The audio version is now available for preorder on Audible from @univpressofkansas.bsky.social and @tantoraudio.bsky.social www.audible.com/pd/Gettysbur...

Restocking I like to hand these out at talks because it contains the best battle accounts no one has ever heard of before ... as well as mentions of 19th Century civil service reform and the Readjuster movement. The paperback version from @uvapress.bsky.social came out recently.

Happy to report that my book about North Carolina in 1864 from @univpressofkansas.bsky.social is coming out in audio soon. www.audible.com/pd/B0F691KJ8...

On this morning 162 years ago thousands of Black South Carolinians gathered for a celebration of newfound freedom. After a reading of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation at Camp Saxton they broke into song - the words of My Country Tis of Thee echoing through a live oak grove on a former plantation.
