I teach Civil War and Reconstruction at Bloomsburg University of
Pennsylvania. It's a small department, and I got the course because I
have a field in Southern history. Recently a student asked me what
graduate school he should go to in order to specialize in Civil War
history, with an emphasis on military rather than political or social
aspects of the war. Since my interests _are_ political and social, I was
chagrined, but decided that posting his question to this group might be
enlightening to him and to me. So: where would you send a bright student
to study the Civil War, emphasis on military?
Thanks.
