Ago ago. Just outstanding events in richmond, last weekend commemorating the fall of richmond. Dr. Ed aires is one of americas preeminent civil war historians and i dont say that lightly. Hes one committed not just to impeccable scholarship, but to reaching people beyond academia. He roots out stories, untold stories, he amplifies voices unheard. And he constantly challenges us to see events in new ways. Always with a sense of historical justice for those who are there. Perhaps more than any historian working in the field he helps us accord meaning to events that were almost always far more complex and far reaching than we imagined them to be. Hes retiring from his position at the university of richmond this summer. While its a great loss for the university to be sure a prospect of dr. Aires devoting his immense energies once again, to history is good news for the rest of us. Its my pleasure to introduce to you dr. Ed aires. Thank you. There are, indeed, very many of you. And its conve
