Who We Are

Co-Founded
in 1998 by John F. Marszalek and Michael B. Ballard of Mississippi State
University, Historians of
the Civil War Western Theater is intended to provide a forum for the informal
sharing of information, ideas, and concerns among historians interested in the
western theater, including the Trans-Mississippi, of the Civil War. No formal
papers are given; the purpose is to give interested historians a chance to
enjoy a retreat-type atmosphere and engage in dialogue with old and new
friends. Annual meetings are held in the spring and consist of one day of
informal discussions on various topics of interest and one day of sightseeing. Our
organization continues to be limited to individuals publishing books and/or
articles on the Western Theater of the Civil War in main-line presses or journals. Please contact
Dr. Marszalek or Dr. Ballard if you are interested in joining HCWWT.
