KCSS is pleased to announce that David and Jeanne Heidler will be the keynote speakers for the 2010 conference.  Together as a husband-wife team, they have written numerous books and articles dealing with the history of the early American republic, the Antebellum period, and the Civil War, includingEncyclopedia of the War of 1812 and the award-winningEncyclopedia of the American Civil War: A Social, Political, and Military History, which received the Society for Military History’s Distinguished Book Award in 2003. They are the authors of Old Hickory’s War: Andrew Jackson and the Quest for Empire, The War of 1812, Manifest Destiny, Daily Life in the Early American Republic: Creating a New Nation, 1790-1820, and The Mexican War. In addition to generating new insights into American History through their own published works, the Heidlers are general editors for several series of monographs examining U.S. civil-military relations, American soldiers’ lives, and life on the home front. They have written a study of Indian Removal, published by W. W. Norton in 2006. The Heidlers, who have lived in northwestern Colorado Springs since 1993, each maintain a regional teaching affiliation: David is associated with the History Department of Colorado State University-Pueblo, and Jeanne is Professor of History at the United States Air Force Academy where she is the senior civilian member of her department.

Their most recent work Henry Clay: The Essential American is a biography of Henry Clay  published by Random House and will be the focus of this year's keynote address.
