As the holiday season approaches, consider giving a friend, colleague, student, or loved one the gift of membership in the Historical Society. For just $50 you can sign up a friend to receive one-year subscriptions to both the Journal of the Historical Society and Historically Speaking.  Your gift is tax deductible. The Historical Society is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. We want to make this offer even more attractive by adding two volumes from an exciting new series of books edited by Historically Speaking editors Donald Yerxa and Randall Stephens. Historians in Conversation, published by the University of South Carolina Press, brings together interviews, essays, and forums from Historically Speaking that speak to a common theme (military history, historiography, early America, Africa and the Atlantic World, and more). These books are terrific teaching tools. Eight volumes have been published thus far, and we will send a choice of two to the recipient of your gift subscription.   Give your gift membership using this secure PayPal website and choose 2 of 8 books Select 1 of the 8 titles from Historians in Conversation Recent Themes in Military History Recent Themes in Historical Thinking Recent Themes in the History of Africa and the Atlantic World Recent Themes in Early American History Recent Themes in the History of the World and the West Recent Themes in Historians and the Public Recent Themes in American Religious History Recent Themes in the History of Science and Religion Second Free Book: Select 1 of 8 from Historians in Conversation Recent Themes in Military History Recent Themes in Historical Thinking Recent Themes in the History of Africa and the Atlantic World Recent Themes in Early American History Recent Themes in the History of the World and the West Recent Themes in Historians and the Public Recent Themes in American Religious History Recent Themes in the History of Science and Religion
