UTC Colleagues,


I've posted on the web a few of my photographs from this weekend's  
Symposium on the 19th Century Press, The Civil War, and Free  
Expression. The meeting was held here in Chattanooga. Those attending  
the conference presented and listened between several interesting  
meals. The conference ended yesterday (Saturday) afternoon with a tour  
of the Lookout Mountain Battlefield led by National Park Historian Jim  
Ogden. The afternoon tour was followed by the conference's traditional  
barbeque dinner at Chattanooga's downtown "Sticky Fingers" restaurant.

An interesting development for the conference over the last few years  
is the increasing presence of "mainstream" historians. (I learned this  
weekend that "mainstream" is how some historians refer to themselves.)  
The sharing between journalism historians and "mainstream" historians,  
both with interests in the 19th century, is an interesting and, to me,  
exciting development of the little conference.

A selection of the 2007 symposia photographs is available at:
