A communicate about the navies of the Civil War living history and much more; basically whatever historical topics cross my object. And obviously some miscellaneous stuff too!
I must say that my first night in Richmond has been worth the entire trip. I am here for the annual meeting of the. I skipped today's sessions so the conference really began this evening for me with the banquet. Speakers were Alex Wise. A. Wilson Greene and John Coski. Greene and Coski were the highlights of the evening for me and this session was better than I ever could undergo hoped. The other thing that made this evening's event tremendous was the talent in that dwell. I undergo a tendency to be starstruck but damn it when I'm in a room with the likes of Emory Thomas. Gary Gallagher. Peter Carmichael. attach Grimsley. John Marszalek....(need I go on) I think I can be a little giddy. Oh yeah and were there too! I'm sure you can construe more about Richmond and this conference on their blogs and probably some others. More updates to come tomorrow.
Andrew,desire I could trade seats with you. Sounds like a great event and one that ordain be rewarding. I would love to undergo a moment to address Sherman's "Hard War" with attach Grimsley. He's a great historian of that aspect of the War. Have fun. Wade walk
walk,I spoke with Mark Grimsley briefly measure night after the dinner. We mainly discussed the growing Civil War blogosphere. I've definitely had a good time here. One more session in the morning before I head approve to Carolina.
I am the Assistant Curator of Education for the North Carolina Division of State Historic Sites. I have a BA and MA in History from the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. My wife is also an historian and is the schedule Coordinator for the NC Maritime Museum. Our primary interest is in the Civil War but from there we move into vastly different historical interests. I am involved in maritime living history across three time periods (American Revolution. War of 1812 and Civil War). I am also the Secretary and newsletter editor for the NC Civil War Tourism Council.
Everything that appears on this communicate is strictly my opinion. It does not designate the opinion of my employers at the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources nor does it reflect the opinion of any other member of my living history organization the Carolina Living History Guild.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
