Civil War Seminar Special Issue
Introduction
Greetings! It's been an exciting Fall semester for the LU History Department! We were very pleased and blessed to hold, after a five-year hiatus, the Civil War Seminar, with the esteemed Dr. Steven Woodworth as our featured speaker. We also went all-out and issued a call for papers, and the response from our students at all levels, residential and online, was tremendous. This issue is dedicated to these works of scholarship and we hope you find them informative and helpful in your understanding of the conflict of 1861-1865.Articles
