Symposium Spotlight: “The Cities of War” on the ECW Podcast
As we get ready to explore “The Cities of War” during this year’s Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge, we’ve spent time on the Emerging Civil War Podcast this month sharing additional city-based stories from the war. We want to invite you to further explore this topic by taking a dip into our archives:
- Portland, Maine: The Battle of Portland Harbor and the Great Portland Fire with Ryan Quint
- Boston, Massachusetts: Born of Boston: Robert Gould Shaw and the 54th Massachusetts with Kevin Levin
- Charleston, South Carolina: Robert Smalls and the Escape from Charleston with Walt Young
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The Explosion of the Allegheny Arsenal with Rich Condon
- Mobile, Alabama: The Siege of Spanish Fort with Paul Brueske (from the ECW Archives on April 15, 2025)
- Seattle, Washington: Civil War Seattle with Richard Heisler (from the ECW Archives on August 9, 2023)
We’ll cap off our “Cities of War” podcast series next week with an interview with Jonathan White about his new co-authored book with Timothy Orr, New York City in the Civil War.
