It’s time for a little break. I need to see a man about finishing an essay and a book manuscript. Enjoy the Holidays!

"In this stunning and well-researched book, Kevin Levin catches the new waves of the study of memory, black soldiers, and the darker underside of the Civil War as well as anyone has... Levin is both superb scholar and public historian, showing us a piece of the real war that does now get into the books, as well as into site interpretation."

Kevin,
Have a good one!
Lucky Dog I have to work till the 18th before my Christmas break begins. Have a safe and Blessed Holiday Season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all at CWM!
Ok, you know I read often yet post rarely: What am I supposed to read fourth thing in the morning now?! Haha! Enjoy the blogging break.
Kevin,
Have a wonderful holiday and enjoy your much deserved break. Your readers will miss your daily commentary and insights, but know that you will come back renewed. Also, I, for one, am looking forward to reading your manuscript. You have done a tremendous job with this blog, Kevin. I have learned an enormous amount from you. Thank you for caring enough to put in the time and the hard work necessary to maintain a blog as complex as this one. You have set the template on how it should be done. I nominate you for blog visionary and innovator. That should drive your critics to add something extra to their holiday egg nog, LOL. Happy Hanukah, Kevin, Merry Christmas, and much peace and happiness this holiday season. Sherree
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours, Kevin!
but, but, but, what if while you're gone someone discovers those elusive records proving thousands of African-Americans fought for the Confederacy as full-fledged soldiers!
seriously, have a nice break, Happy Holidays and Happy 2010!
Kevin, I hope you have a productive and relaxing holiday break!
