Lindsey R. Peterson is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Dale Center for the Study of War and Society at Southern Miss. Her dissertation project examines the intersection of race, gender, and place in westerners’ Union Civil War commemorations to reveal how western Unionists remembered and celebrated the American Civil War to bolster their competing visions of western expansion and social order. Lindsey is the recipient of several fellowships, including the 2018 Baird Fellowship for the Center for the Study of the Gulf South, the 2017 Dale Center Graduate Fellowship, and the 2015 Margaret Boone Dale Fellowship from the Dale Center for the Study of War and Society. She currently serves on the Graduate Student Connection Committee for the Society of Civil War Historians and teaches the U.S. History sequence and upper-level history courses as an instructor at the University of Sioux Falls in South Dakota. Based on her M.A. thesis, her article, “’Iowa Excelled Them All’: Iowa Local Ladies’ Aid Societies Relief on the Civil War Frontier, 1861–1865” appeared in the fall 2016 issue of The Middle West Review.
