Lincoln Discussion Symposium

I am sure we are all "young"enough to recognize this esteem Historian and Author to our forum.Welcome Mr.James McPherson!

Yes, welcome! We look forward to continued interesting discussions and your insights will be treasured I'm sure.

I too want to welcome Professor McPherson to the site. I had a brief experience with him when I was trying to decide whether to go to graduate school or not. After Battle Cry of Freedom appeared, I wrote to Professor McPherson telling him how much I enjoyed the book, and I also asked his opinion about grad school. He wrote me a very nice letter encouraging me to do so. I decided against it, but his kindness and helpful words meant a great deal to me. I have the letter he sent, along with a letter sent to me from C. Vann Woodward on the same topic, framed and both hang proudly above my desk. Welcome, sir. It is indeed an honor.

Best
