GDG- Re: Ask Ed Ayers

[Charles TJoyce]

As a U.Va grad ( History '83) and one who took Ed Ayers' very first seminar he ever taught there, on the history of American violence, I would urge anyone who can to see him.  He is an incredible speaker, a first class intellect, and a helluva nice guy!  I am just finishing his "In the Presence of Mine Enemies", which traces the social, political and to a lesser extent, military experiences of two communities in the Valley of Virginia, one South, one North, and  ends right at the beginning of the Battle of Gettysburg.   It won the Bancroft Prize for Histoy, and  it's a great read.
