The January 2017 ECW Newsletter

The January 2017 ECW newsletter is now available.

In this issue, we talk about “alternative facts,” “fake news,” and how the skills of historians can help us see through the clutter. Our “10 Questions” feature profiles ECW co-founder Kris White. Our “News and Notes” section offers no fewer than six suggested readings in places like Civil War Times, Blue & Gray, and Civil War News, plus a chance to listen to some “engaging” young historians courtesy of the Mosby Heritage Area.

We also offered the very first heads-up about our latest Emerging Civil War Series title from Savas Beatie, Determined to Stand and Fight: The Battle of Monocacy by Ryan T. Quint.
