The New Editor—

THE NEW EDITORCivil War History takes pleasure in announcing the appointment of Robert Dykstra as editor, effective July 1, 1962.

Now Executive Director of the Civil War Centennial Commission, Mr. Robertson joins the distinguished group which comprises the Editorial Advisory Board. Much consideration has been given to effecting this change in command smoothly. The high editorial standards our readers have come to expect will be maintained. Civil War History will continue to publish readable, interesting contributions to our knowledge of the period, based on solid, scholarly investigation. Mr. Dykstra will continue the effective editorial guidance of Mr. Robertson. The transition will indicate only continued growth. ...
