Remembering the Forgotten Front


Our historian-in-residence, Chris Mackowski, woke up to some good news a few days ago. A book he co-authored has been selected as a finalist for a pair of awards!

Chancellorsville’s Forgotten Front: The Battles of Second Fredericksburg and Salem Church, which Chris co-wrote with his longtime collaborator Kristopher D. White, has been chosen as a finalist for both the Library of Virginia's Literary Award and the Army Historical Foundation's Award.

Aside from his work here at Stevenson Ridge, Chris is a writing professor at St. Bonaventure University and the managing editor of Emerging Civil War. Among his other publications, he and Kris have written a book about the battle of Spotsylvania Court House, A Season of Slaughter, that includes a little background about Stevenson Ridge’s Civil War history.

Congratulations, Chris and Kris!
