Harwell Award Winner: The Fight For the Old North State

I learned recently that The Fight For the Old North State is the 2020 winner of the Richard Barksdale Harwell Book Award, which is given annually by the Atlanta Civil War Round Table for the best book on a Civil War subject published in the preceding year. I'm thrilled and grateful to Round Table for this award. I look forward to speaking there in November.

Emerging Civil War Review of The Fight For the Old North State

Ryan Quint at Emerging Civil War has written a great review of The Fight For the Old North State. The full review is posted at the Emerging Civil War website. Here are some excerpts:

Newsome’s pages present a perfectly mastered monograph on the subject ... In summation, it is difficult to imagine any writer approaching the subject of the 1864 North Carolina Campaign with the same degree of thoroughness that Newsome has accomplished in this book. He has proven to be among the best Civil War authors writing today.
