I nice opportunity from our friend @scotamstudies.bsky.social

Deadline for submissions is this Friday!

Who knew!?!

In 1863, Abraham Lincoln invited a divided and bleeding nation to pray and give thanks, a national thanksgiving—fashioned in the 18th century—having its heart in the turmoil of the 19th.

For those who celebrate, a happy and reflective American Thanksgiving!

Thrilled to have this roundtable on @profmsinha.bsky.social's (most recent!) hugely significant book. As ever, if you're interested in submitting to @anchistjournal.bsky.social - whether a research essay, historiographical or methodological piece, or perhaps a review roundtable - drop us a line!

✅ Rare experience to study at the world-class Kinder Institute in Missouri

✅ Fully-funded, including health insurance and stipend

✅ Opportunity to develop skills, make friends, travel, & more!

Time is running out to apply for the Kinder-BrANCh MA Fellowship in Atlantic History & Politics (12 Dec)

While not necessarily BrANCH, a nice opportunity for someone interested in modern British and Irish history…

On this important anniversary, see also Adam Smith's powerful article on Gettysburg and American history. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

As ever, we'd love to hear from authors with planned research articles on 19th C American History. Drop us a line!

Carolinian Crucible Cambridge Core - American History 1861-1900 - Carolinian Crucible

As we look forward to a new year (and a season of gift-giving 😉), a hot off-the-press “Carolinian Crucible” by Dr. Patrick Doyle, an insightful history of South Carolina and the US Civil War, including the often overlooked upcountry, should be of great interest 📖!

As people celebrate Veterans/Armistice day, I hope they don’t forget the 19th Century and the works of those like Clara Barton, Walt Whitman, Susie King Taylor, and Dr. Mary Edwards Walker…
