Quicksand and Land Mines: Writing Civil War History
Saturday, October 16, 1 p.m., WV 105
One of the most distinguished names in the field of Civil War history, Dr. James Robertson says that the Civil War is not an area for passive writers. His massive biography of Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson won eight national awards and was used as the basis for the Ted Turner/Warner Bros. mega-movie, Gods and Generals. The recipient of every major award given in the Civil War field and a lecturer of national acclaim, Robertson is frequently asked to appear on Civil War programs on the Arts & Entertainment Network, the History Channel, C-SPAN and public television.
