Dr. Chris Mackowski,
professor of journalism and mass communication, spent five days this month co-hosting a video project for the American Battlefield Trust (ABT), the nation’s largest battlefield preservation organization.
The project encompassed nearly 50 videos with historians at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park and various Civil War sites associated with the 1864 Atlanta Campaign.
The videos will premiere on ABT’s Facebook and YouTube pages beginning on April 4.
