News---Call For Research On Confederate Soldiers' Wartime and Postwar Writings

Robert Gudmestad, Associate Professor at Colorado State University has an invitation for those doing research on Confederate wartime writings and Confederate postwar writings. Here is his offer that was sent to H-War@h-net.msu.edu, a listserv.

Hello,

I am interested in putting together a session for the 2013 OAH Annual Meeting in San Francisco. My paper would compare the material in wartime letters/diaries of Confederate soldiers with the material in post-war memoirs/reminiscences. A panel could go any number of directions, but might focus on wartime military experience, Civil War memory, or even compare various wars. The deadline for proposals to the OAH is February 15, 2012 and you may find specific information at http://annualmeeting.oah.org/call_for_proposals/2013_sanfrancisco.html

If you are interested in participating, please send a 250 word prospectus by January 31, 2012 to me at robert.gudmestad@colostate.edu

Thanks,
Robert Gudmestad
