Gettysburg College Annual summer conference. It is my pleasure this afternoon to introduce earl hess. Earl is the stuart w. Mcclelland chair in history at Lincoln Memorial university in tennessee. He is the author of more than 20 books. I have a long list here. Actually, one of my favorite books of earls.

Earl has won a number of awards, including the tom watson price for his book on civil war tactics, something he will be speaking about today. And i should note, this book fighting for atlanta, is published by
