Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed how much fantastic scholarship is being published right now? Speaking from a Civil War-era perspective, every recent book I’ve read has been eye opening and even groundbreaking. It’s frankly pretty intimidating. #books #amreading #academia #phd

Learning a ton about the intricacies of the executive pardon system under Andrew Johnson in this important book. Contrary to popular belief, each clemency application was carefully weighed and lots of supplicants were unsuccessful in their attempts. #books #reconstruction #johnson #lsupress #phd
