James McPherson, respected Civil War historian and past AHA president, will partake in a daylong colloquium in Andover, Massachusetts on August 25th. Lawrence R. Velvel, Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law will lead the event, entitled “A Day With James McPherson: Interpretations Old and New,” with audience-based discussions focused around McPherson’s most recent book This Mighty Scourge. The events of the day, and the discussions generated, will be made into a television program to be aired in select areas of the country. Participants will also receive a DVD copy of the program to use in the classroom. Space is very limited, but those wishing to register for this event should visit this page of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover web site.
