This is pic of the cadets & me from my “Civil War Soldiers” class walking Pickett’s Charge last weekend. I’ve had some amazing experiences during my time as a visiting professor at West Point, but I know this will be one of my favorite memories.

Thanks to Kevin Levin for a great conversation about Dread Danger.
