CALL FOR PAPERS: The Society of Civil War Historians will host an academic conference from June 15 through 17, 2008, at the Union League in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This represents a new era for the Society, which will conduct a conference every other year. The SCWH welcomes panel proposals or individual papers on the Civil War era broadly defined.
