Twenty years ago, I took a historical archaeology class in the Public History and Historic Preservation program at @novacommcollege.bsky.social that changed my life. My program classmates were brilliant and continue to do amazing research and I still work on the project I was assigned that semester.

It was a pleasure to read and write about Marni Sandweiss's new book, "The Girl in the Middle" for the Emerging Civil War blog.

It also gave me a chance to experiment with book review writing style, which was great fun!
