I Know What I Did Next Semester
Looks like I'm going to do the next half of my American History requirement, i.e. American History from 1865 to the present as well as a Seminar in 19th Century American History - likely to be about the South, Civil War and/or Reconstruction.
I was hoping to take a course in war history, since military history's my bag as well, but it turns out there was a typo in the Spring schedule - what I thought was a war history colloquium turns out to be a course on agrarian history.
War. Agrarian. Easy mistake. Not.
So after some discussion, I'm doing a directed reading course, i.e. a seminar of one. Dr Hoffer, who's a legal and early American historian, is directing me on a reading list about military justice, i.e. legal systems in the military - JAG stuff, to put it in a very crude sense. Looks like if I'm heading in the direction to do a PhD, it'll be in legal history after all.
