Montana's Civil War
Today I've begun a series of articles about Montana's Civil War. Because I wrote it for a general audience, I have not included the usual scholarly citations to sources, but a complete bibliography is included on the main website. I'll update it as I go along, particularly from articles in the Montana Post.The thesis of the series is: The Cannons' Echo: how Civil War ideology divides the nation and Montana in particular. Do feel free to visit the blog and discuss.…See More
Carol A Buchanan replied to David Abrams's discussion 'Is Technology Good for the Humanities?'
"Hi, Kim,
Email has the same benefits in an office setting as it does between individuals. Participants have a record of what was said and confirmed or not confirmed.
I inherited a sizable collection of postcards dating roughly between 1900 and 1925.…"
Carol A Buchanan replied to David Abrams's discussion 'Is Technology Good for the Humanities?'
"The Internet is a tool for us to use as we would a shovel or a typewriter (remember those?). How we use it determines its effect on us, I think. We can use it reflectively to exchange ideas, or quickly to skim an array of information, knowledge, and…"
Carol A Buchanan replied to David Abrams's discussion 'Is Technology Good for the Humanities?'
"Going back to David's original question, my answer is Yes. The Internet is good for the Humanities and for humanity.

Carol A Buchanan left a comment for Joe Drivdahl
"I'll eventually dig in the papers Mom left. I know she mentioned her Drivdahl cousins."
Carol A Buchanan replied to Jason Neal's discussion 'Great Works of Genre Fiction'
"OK, Book Goddess, will do.
I don't care about genres either because I certainly don't like to write to pigeonholes. Those are artificial distinctions for the convenience of those who need to categorize books as a convenience in…"
Carol A Buchanan replied to Mike Jetty's discussion 'Indian Education For All: Strategies and Practices'
"Thank you, Mike and Anna! I appreciate the links, & I'll visit and bookmark them.
After I wrote that post, I went to the OPI website and downloaded timelines for the Blackfeet and the S/K. Very basic, I realize, but I learned…"
Joe Drivdahl left a comment for Carol A Buchanan
"Well we certainly could be related. There aren't many Drivdahls and none that I know of that I am not related to."
Carol A Buchanan replied to Ken Egan's discussion 'Homesteading? Civil War? Indian Sovereignty?'
"Hello, Kathleen,
I'm more than a year late responding to your comment in this discussion. Perhaps now that we're almost into the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, and only 3 years away from the 150th anniversary of the formation of…"

Jan Umphrey posted a blog postCall for manuscripts about your work in humanities-based classes

I am seeking manuscripts for the October issue about the state of humanities in public secondary schools. This forum is a wonderful exchange of ideas, and I'm so heartened to see the humanities being supported.I would love to hear about successful programs and strategies for keeping such classes strong in the face of challenges from…See More

Just two questions on my part: What do you make of Martha Ettinger, the lead detective (sheriff) in Royal Wulff Murders? She's a Montana woman who loves…"
