Author Interview--Larry J. Daniel (Engineering in the Confederate Heartland)

(Editorial Note: As you are about to look at our newest author interview below, I would like to ask you for a moment of reflection after the events on February 13 at Michigan State University. H-Net's Home Office is at Michigan State University and our Executive Director taught only three hours before the events in the same building where the murderers occurred. Berkey Hall is across the street from the MSU's History Department and H-Net Home Office building. This atrocity was very close to us!
