Hello H-CivWar readers,

today we feature Brian Black to talk about his new book Gettysburg Contested, which just came out with George Thompson Publishing distributed by the University of Virginia Press.

Brian Black is Professor of History and Environmental Studies at Pennsylvania State Altoona. He has published articles on preservation and environmental history in the Christian Science Monitor, Civil War History, and USA Today. He is the author of Nature’s Entrepôt: Philadelphia's Urban Sphere and Its Environmental Thresholds.

My name is Melissa DeVelvis and I am a fourth year PhD candidate at the University of South Carolina, studying gender and secession in South Carolina, 1860-1861. I am hoping to put together a panel for SCWH 2020 focusing on imagined disunion and Civil War in the South. My own paper will examine South Carolina women's apocalyptic predictions of war and disunion in the months before and after Lincoln's election. Brian Neumann, a PhD candidate in History at the University of Virginia, will be presenting on imagined disunion and war in the 1830s during the nullification crisis.
