Winner of the 2009 Lincoln Prize Sees Lincoln in Obama
Tuesday, February 17th, 2009The OUP Blog, from the folks at Oxford University Press, has been busy lately. The Bicentennial appears to have inspired a number of Lincoln-related posts. I look forward to pointing out a few of them to you. The first post of note was written by Craig L. Symonds. You may have heard Symonds’ name in the news. His [...]
I’m Back
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008A big “thank you” to everyone who commented on the story about Professor Simon. Your comments were so thoughtful and I know his family and friends will be pleased to read them. He lived a wonderful life, reached out to many people, and will be greatly missed. Several stories have come across my desk during the past [...]
One Man’s Rebellion Record Blog is No More
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008I’m sorry to report that Rob Wick has decided to pull the plug on his blog, One Man’s Rebellion Record. Believe me, not all blogs are created equal, but his blog was one of those that seemed to raise the bar in terms of quality posts. I hope the blog will remain available online; there [...]

A. Lincoln Blog is No More
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Unfortunate news today from the blogosphere. It seems Brian Dirck is going to retire his very informative A. Lincoln Blog. I was a regular reader of the A. Lincoln Blog. Dirck’s insights into current Lincoln-related news stories, as well as his thoughts on the many new Lincoln and Civil War books, will certainly be missed. [...]
Lincoln Turns 199, LincolnStudies.com Turns 1
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008I planned on being in Springfield yesterday and today for the annual Lincoln Symposium at the Old State Capitol, but Mother Nature had other plans. Southern Illinois had enjoyed an exceptionally mild winter, but everything changed for us yesterday. It started snowing about noon on Monday, but as the day progressed, the snow turned to [...]
Tomorrow is a Big Day
Monday, February 11th, 2008My apologies for the unexpected week-long break. A day turned into two and before I knew it, I was lost inside my dissertation for a week! It turns out I am back just in time for the big celebration. Yes, tomorrow is Abraham Lincoln’s 199th birthday, but wait there’s more… LincolnStudies.com turns a year old [...]
CivilWarriors.net
Saturday, February 24th, 2007Civilwarriors.net is a blog I really like to read. Not only are the bloggers some first rate scholars of the American Civil War, but they are also very fine writers. Their daily comments are not limited to the nineteenth century; they often weigh-in on issues that dominate today’s headlines. This week was no exception. On [...]
