At the university of richmond on the subject of her latest book remembering the civil war. She returned to richmond the following june to accept the Jefferson Davis award for the same book. Her first book, burying the dead but not the past, is a personal favorite of mine kerry as she well knows. She also edited an edition of a travel account which unfortunately is outofprint and unavailable. As carrie knows, i have given a talk on her first book i think as many times as you have. [laughter] it is a branch of history that so many people do not know about and since we are in the postwar period and the sesquicentennial timeframe, it is especially important. Carrie janney also coedited with gallagher, our last speaker, a book about the overland campaign. We keep it all in the family here at the museum. We also offer a chance today if you are interested in getting that book, you can get both editors to sign it at the same time. It is available for sale after the break. Today, Carrie Janney

Here on cspan 3. Every election cycle were reminded how important it is for citizens to be informed. Cspan is a vehicle for empowering people to make good choices. It really is like youre getting a sevencourse gourmet fivestar meal of policy. Boy, do i just sound like a nerd right there, but its true. To me, cspan is a home for political junkies and the way to track the government as it happens whether it is on capitol hill or the agencies. Most staffers seem to have a television on their desk and cspan is on. I think it is a great way for us to stay informed. I urged my colleagues to vote for this amendment.
