I’m writing to give you a run down on our 2017 and to preview the cominG year so Grab a cup of coffee and lets get started. After the sesquicentennial closed in 2015 many people wondered if the Civil War would die in the minds and hearts of Americans. I can tell you decisively not within the cohort that you form—donations for 2017 were higher than in previous years and with end of year gifts being tallied membership donations topped $75,000 from a bit under 300 donors—a very generous outpouring of support. Thank you. However, 2017 was troublinG in many ways and by the summer it was clear that the need for orGanizations like the BGES would more important than ever before. We witnessed the unexpected demise of the legendary publication Blue and Gray Magazine. Dave and Jason Roth had been Civil Warriors since the mid eiGhties and suddenly and practically overniGht they were Gone! A Great publication whose maps and General’s Tours blazed a path for anyone who wanted to walk a battlefield. It is a real loss. In another stunning change, Civil War News, published and edited by Kay Jorgenson announced it was suspending operations and was up for sale. Fortunately Jack Melton acquired it and moved operations to Charleston, SC.
