Biography Of Dr. Eugene W. Smith, Arkansas State University President 1984 To 1992, Glenda Newsom

Student Theses and Dissertations

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

A friend of mine and former supervisor said something to me the other day. I deeply respect him; he taught me the very basics of interpretation. But his words shocked me. I still don't know exactly how to process them.
