Abstract
Like a prose poem, the passage leaped off of the page of the Lutheran and Missionary as I scanned the newspaper's columns.

It's not often that you find new words penned by someone you've been studying for years. [excerpt]

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public is written by alum and adjunct professor, John Rudy. Each post is his own opinions, musings, discussions, and questions about the Civil War era, public history, historical interpretation, and the future of history. In his own words, it is "a blog talking about how we talk about a war where over 600,000 died, 4 million were freed and a nation forever changed. Meditating on interpretation, both theory and practice, at no charge to you."
