This is so cool. Congrats to my alma mater.
Without the care of folks like Shelby Foote, Ken Burns, and my own dad, I doubt I’d marvel so much at the tragedy of the Civil War. I can’t count how many times I’ve veered off a booming interstate just to visit some tiny place tangentially related to that great story, much to the boredom of fellow travelers. Battlefields like Shiloh and Gettysburg still give me goosebumps.
