I am very happy to welcome Dr. Holly A. Pinheiro, Jr. to the show. Holly received his bachelor’s degree (2008) from the University of Central Florida. Later, he earned his master’s degree (2010) and doctoral degree (2017) from the University of Iowa. His research focuses on the intersectionality of race, gender, and class in the military from 1850 through the 1930s. He is an Assistant Professor of History in the Department of History, Anthropology, & Philosophy at Augusta University. His monograph, The Families’ Civil War, is under contract with the University of Georgia Press in the UnCivil Wars Series. This book is due out sometime next year and is already generating a lot of excitement - so if you want a sneak peek…have a listen! We discuss:
