In this month’s issue:
- a recap of our recent ECW retreat
- 10 questions with Ryan Quint (author of the brand-spanking-new ECWS book Determined to Stand and Fight: The Battle of Monocacy)
- a look ahead at Women’s History Month
- an update on the Fourth Annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge
- news and notes
- thoughts about pending fatherhood from editor-in-chief Chris Mackowski.
This month’s cover photo is in honor of Black History Month. Do you know where it was taken? Last month’s photo comes from Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park, on the grounds of the park’s headquarters at Chatham Manor.
Because “Douglass” is spelled, unusually, with two esses, I believe it is safe to conclude that the stone is part of a Frederick
Douglass Memorial. But I don’t know where. Rochester?
You got it, John. It’s Douglass’s grave in Rochester, New York. Congrats!
