Predoc @cooperwingert recently wrote a series of three essays about stampedes of freedom seekers to Camp Nelson during the Civil War. The essays are part of a cooperative project between @House_Divided and the @NatlParkService Network to Freedom Program. https://t.co/Le8BK9JI7x

“In short, ONWARD TO CHICAGO has much to offer both Underground Railroad scholars as well as general readers,” writes @cooperwingert in his H-CivWar review of Larry A. McClellan’s new book. @siupress https://t.co/YlPRdmkeGK

New from @processhistory: Mapping the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. "The map highlights the prevalence of group escapes ... challenging scholars and students to rethink what we know about the Underground Railroad," writes @cooperwingert.

Excited to share my new digital history project, an interactive GIS map of cases under the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act. It accompanies my June 2023 @JournAmHist article. Thanks to @processhistory for the chance to share how I created my dataset and map!

So grateful to have the opportunity to present at @SHEARites last week! Thanks to my fellow panelists @gauthamrao, @cooperwingert, and Brian Rouleau for contributing to such an informative conversation about federalism on the U.S. waterfront!

I’m honored and thrilled to be joining the Richards Center’s impressive community of scholars working on the Civil War Era!

Appears that the Franklin Pierce section of the local bookstore is a tad thin

This was a remarkable and humbling weekend. Thanks to the more than 50 descendants who journeyed to Carlisle and generously shared their time and family histories.

Pybus writes that white Australians all too often acknowledge Aboriginal dispossession in tones that smack of “regret without responsibility.” She closes with this:
