A new edited collection by @GregAcken! Letters from Charles Mills (2nd Mass), who served in the AoP from 1862-1865. Greg is a master editor and annotator. This is one for the shelves! Congratulations, Greg! A great volume by @KentStateUPress

Caitlin Clark has scored more points in postseason play (235) than Iowa Football scored all season (230).
That is insane.

Killed in action on this day in VA 158 years ago, Maj. Charles J. Mills. My new book, which is a revised and expanded edition of the late Gregory A. Coco’s 1982 limited, privately published volume, tells the story of this dedicated, Harvard-educated soldier. Available April 19.

What were 2022's best #CivilWar books? We assembled a panel of historians and asked for their picks, which we published in full in our Winter issue. You can read their top selections here—lots of suggestions for good reading: bit.ly/3AU7JYy. #twitterstorians #BestBooks
Gettysburg, July 4, 2022: people playing corn hole at the Angle, the very ground held by the Army of the Potomac. Cornhole boards placed where Lt. Alonzo Cushing died on July 3, 1863 at the age of 22. Why is this tolerated @GettysburgNMP
After MG John Reynolds fell mortally wounded on the morning of July 1, 1863, his body was transported by ambulance to Union Bridge, MD. Then placed in a coffin and packed on ice, Reynolds made his final journey to Lancaster, PA where he was buried on July 4.
@CivilWarTrails
June 29, 1863: MG George Meade temporarily made his HQ in this hotel in Middleburg, MD before moving the AOP HQ onto the property owned by Peter Koons, which sat just south of Big Pipe Creek. @CivilWarTrails
Looking forward to this volume on Civil War graves hitting the shelves in 2023! I contributed a chapter on General Meade's trusted warhorse, Old Baldy, whose Civil War career and post war life offer a fascinating tail.
Today I sent FINAL RESTING PLACES: REFLECTIONS ON THE MEANING OF CIVIL WAR GRAVES to @UGAPress. #twitterstorian contributors include @davidwblight1 @edward_l_ayers @monitorkitty @CarrieJanney @DrJen_Murray @ronaldcwhitejr @wbstahr @MichelleKrowl @HilaryGreen77. Coming in 2023!
Happy Meade Takes Command Day! In the ensuing days, Meade would lead the AOP to its most important victory to date.
Looking forward to working on this edited collection—Civil War Memory beyond the monuments. We’ve assembled a line-up of top-shelf scholars for this important and so timely project.
Happy to announce that @DrJen_Murray and I are editing a book on "#CivilWar Memory in a Polarized America" for @UnivNebPress. Contributions on country music, romance novels, Jan. 6, MAGA rallies, military bases, mass shootings, BLM, and more. Starting to write...now.
