First, I would like to announce that we have finally reached our one hundredth post. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this site and to all you readers out there who continue to support us.
There are a couple of events/items that I wanted to make you aware of that are coming up. First, I will be participating in a virtual book tour with TLC Book Tours, which will be showing David H. Jones’s book Two Brothers: One North, One South. I am scheduled to be a tour stop on Nov. 17. What that means is that I will have a review up by that day and the author will “stop” by here and be available for questions and comments, guest posting, and interviewing. I would like to encourage you all, especially those who have read the book, to stop by and post comments and interact with the author. I will do my best to communicate with the tour company and prepare the site. Now, I will be in and out that day, as I have class in the morning and early afternoon, but will be around. Basically, tell your friends to stop by and meet David H. Jones and learn about his book. If you are interested in following the tour, here is a list of tour stops:

The other item is also a bit timely. It is getting to that time of year for graduate school applications to be prepared and submitted, but it is not too late. I would like to invite professors and graduate schools that specialize in American history and the Civil War to get in touch with me, as I will be setting up a Graduate School section for the site, which will provide links and information to prospective students. What that means is that if you are involved with a graduate program in History, I want to help you reach students. So, tell me a bit about your program, including admission requirements, degree requirements, contacts, any fun facts or other interesting information that makes your institution unique. I ask that you use the Contact page on the site to submit this information. In another month or so, I will set up a section for undergraduate programs, so be ready.
I hope you all will enjoy these new features when they appear. On another happy note, I finally received my bound copies of my thesis and they look awesome. It is quite nice to finally have them to hold. I will post my thesis here sometime soon, but need to correct a security issue on the PDF. Have a great week and thank you all again for your support.
