What the Emerging Civil War Blog had to Say About the Loss of 'CW Times. and 'America's CW'

From February 24, 2024.

One of the best Civil War blogs out there, Emerging Civil War, had this to say about the loss of those two wonderful magazines.

There is much sadness in the Civil War community over the news that "Civil War Times" and "America's Civil War" magazines have been shuttered (along with seven other history-focused magazines owned by the same company.

As "The Civil War Times Illustrated (since shortened to just "Civil War Times"), the flagship magazine of Civil War buffs traced its history all the way back to 1962.  It was a product of the Centennial, when interest in the war was huge.  Many of us have grown up with the magazine.  (Certainly I am one of those  but couldn't afford it in 1962 because I was just 11.) 

I have most of the issues dating back to then as I have some reprints and many of the originals.  With the exception of several years I have had a subscription for most of the years.
