ECW 10th Anniversary Series

To help celebrate our 10th Anniversary, our great friend, partner, and publisher Theodore P. Savas has collected some of ECW’s best work from our first ten years and publish it as a special commemorative series of hardcover books.

The first two books are meant to be read in conversation with each other: The Summer of ’63: Gettysburg and The Summer of ’63: Vicksburg and Tullahoma. ECW’s Chris Mackowski and Dan Welch serve as series co-editors, with “Favorite Stories and Fresh Perspectives from the Historians at Emerging Civil War,” spanning work from a decade of ECW writers.

The books not only collect some of our best blog posts, but they also include selected transcripts from Symposium talks and podcasts. Plus, each include original scholarship, as well, plus new maps and lots of photos. They’re not intended as complete narrative histories but are rather meant to reflect the eclectic conversation of topics and voices readers find on the blog itself.

The public historians writing for the popular Emerging Civil War blog, speaking on its podcast, or delivering talks at its annual Emerging Civil War Symposium at Stevenson Ridge in Virginia always present their work in ways that engage and animate audiences. Their efforts entertain, challenge, and sometimes provoke readers with fresh perspectives and insights born from years of working at battlefields, guiding tours, presenting talks, and writing for the wider Civil War community.
