Civil War History Call for Submissions
Civil War History, the leading scholarly journal devoted to the American Civil War era, is welcoming manuscript submissions. Nearing its sixtieth year of publication, the journal is expanding its coverage to more deeply explore the antebellum and Reconstruction eras. While Civil War History will continue to publish military and political history, as well as reviews of recently published books, the editors are also seeking pioneering scholarship that investigates the cultural, social, and comparative history of the period before, during, and after the War. Manuscripts that take a transnational and/or comparative approach, as well as those that examine the interrelationship between war and society, are especially encouraged.

Civil War History will be under new editorial leadership beginning with Volume Fifty-seven (2011):

Lesley J. Gordon, Editor

Kevin Adams, Associate Editor

Caroline Janney, Book Review Editor
