Kick off your week with some Civil War West.
In our latest digital history column, Cecily Zander writes about the Grand Army of the Potomac national encampment held in Denver, CO, in July 1883—and how and why its attendees idealized the American West. Read it here: bit.ly/4hJ99IH #CivilWar

It’s a new year, so it seems as good a time as any to share some exciting news. I’m thrilled to say I’ll be joining the History Department at the University of Wyoming in the fall, coming home to the Mountain West after a decade away.

ATTN EVERYONE: Andrew C. Isenberg’s The Age of the Borderlands (April 2025) rewrites the story of Manifest Destiny. It reveals how Indigenous societies, enslaved people, and rival empires fiercely resisted US expansion, challenging the idea of “the land of the free.” Game changer
Extremely grateful that *The Army under Fire* has been chosen as one of the @CivilWarMonitor's best books of 2024. And so glad to be featured alongside friends like @rkdcolby86 and @ShaeVaughnCox; and to see so many @lsupress books on the list!
Theodore Roosevelt? Never heard of him.
In our latest digital history column, Cecily Zander draws a connecting line between the creation of the modern Yosemite National Park and Abraham Lincoln's vision for the American West. Read it here: bit.ly/4f69vYO #CivilWar #Yosemite
