In our last issue, we debuted a new campaign, “Help us find the next Shelby Foote or Ed Bearss.” You may have noticed it promoted on the inside front cover or on social media.
Our stated goal was to identify boys and girls aged 13 to 17 with an interest in Civil War history, and provide them with a free subscription to MI, to aid them in their ongoing education.
The idea grew out of a conversation with subscriber and contributor Kevin Canberg, who donated five 1-year subscriptions for this purpose.
