This blog will be used by students in HIST 300, an independent study being conducted by Dr. Caleb McDaniel in Spring 2011. The main purpose of this course will be to introduce students to recent scholarly work on the topic of “Civil War Memory” and also to discuss how the Civil War is and should be commemorated today upon its sesquicentennial. Students in HIST 300 will also work in conjunction with students in HIST 246 to build a digital archive and exhibit about the changing and contested memory of Lt. Richard W. “Dick” Dowling, a locally famous Civil War figure in Houston.

Please email Dr. McDaniel with any questions.
