Encampment named as award finalist…twice
Posted By admin on March 17, 2010
We are proud to announce that Encampment has been named as a finalist for two awards!
The first is the Montaigne Medal, for books that illuminate, progress, or redirect thought. The second is the daVinci Eye, for excellence in book cover design. The winners will be announced in late spring, and we are most definitely keeping our fingers crossed!
Both awards are part of the Eric Hoffer Awards, established “honors the memory of the great American philosopher Eric Hoffer by highlighting salient writing, as well as the independent spirit of small publishers.”
Congratulations to author Carl Eeman and designer Jeremey Bingham!

What if…
1863. Lincoln’s Proclamation frees the slaves, but the reality of equality is long delayed.
1963. At Lincoln’s Memorial the dream of “Free at Last” is proclaimed, but the reality is still incomplete.
Halfway between, in 1913, America has a chance to speed up the day of brotherhood, to put aside racial hatred and bind up the pain of slavery.
It was a road not taken.
Encampment explores that road not taken. In July 1913 54,000 Civil War veterans came to Gettysburg – a now-forgotten, week-long reunion that ended in a gesture of reconciliation between North and South. Reporters kept telegraph wires humming while 100,000 civilians came to see for themselves: could Blue and Gray bind up the nation’s wounds and make peace? They could, and they did… for those who were white.
But what if there had been a deeper healing? What might have happened if 5,000 black veterans had dared to attend? What if not just blue and gray but also black and white had battled through their hatred and regrets to heal history?
