I had a blast talking HAMILTON with the good folks at Material Girls - one of my fave podcasts. Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

So excited — and grateful to Robert, the whole Center for Civil War Research crew, and to the prize committee!

Some Civil War West to start your week!

If you are looking for Wednesday evening plans this week, you can join me for a conversation about my book, The Army under Fire, with the Lincoln Presidential Foundation: Zoom registration here: www.lincolnpresidential.org/events/past-...

It’s a new year, so it seems as good a time as any to share some exciting news. I’m thrilled to say I’ll be joining the History Department at the University of Wyoming in the fall, coming home to the Mountain West after a decade away. Moe is ready to be a cowdog.

Hello new followers and friends. I am a historian of the American West during the Civil War era, currently writing about Lincoln and the West for Liveright. I spend most of my time entertaining my border collie, Moe, who would write a history of ball, if he could type.

Thanks to @civilwarmemory.bsky.social for listing An Unholy Traffic as one of the two best Civil War books of 2024 in The Civil War Monitor--and what an honor to share that spot with @cnzander.bsky.social! You can pick up a copy here: www.amazon.com/Unholy-Traff...

So grateful to Brian Matthew Jordan and Kevin Levin (@civilwarmemory.bsky.social) for including *The Army under Fire* in their lists of the best Civil War books of 2024 in The Civil War Monitor. Even more thrilled to be featured with friends like @rkdcolby86.bsky.social. Check it out!

Back with another podcast, featuring a conversation about my new book, The Army under Fire, for the @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social. I had a great time talking to my friend Andrew Graybill about the book and you can listen wherever you get your podcasts: newbooksnetwork.com/the-army-und...

Excellent OAH book haul, as well, including @cnzander.bsky.social's exciting new work, John Rodrigue's award-winning Freedom's Crescent, and Justene Hill Edward's excellent book. It was especially cool to get my hands on an early copy of Tony Kaye's Nat Turner bio, finished by Greg Downs.

LSU Press is running an awesome sale through December 15: 40% new books and old, including pre-orders of my book. I so appreciate anyone who has considered grabbing a copy — and now you can save some coin with code 04ONSALE here: lsupress.org/978080718140...

Hi bluesky friends! My book, The Army under Fire, is now available for pre-order from LSU Press. It will be out on February 14. I'm really proud of it - and so grateful to friends and colleagues who said such nice things about it. I hope you'll consider grabbing a copy. lsupress.org/978080718140...

Saturday.

I needed a break from work today after feeling a bit low and anyway I made this:

We think this a pretty good pro-Moe for a great book by @shiralurie.bsky.social.

Really excited about teaching both of these courses -- also excited about the posters I made for them. Alt. title for Research Methods: Bangers Only.

I wrote a book and if you buy it, you will own the book that I wrote - that’s about as good as capitalism gets. Use code “10LURIE” for 30% off! https://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/5978/
