Welcome back to our podcast with the second episode of a two-part interview with Professor Christopher S. Stowe, Ph.D., Professor of Military History and War Studies Department Head, Command and Staff College, Marine Corps University. We talk about the start of the United States Army Corps of Engineers and their involvement in the American Civil War, as well as the Topogs, cartography, and even into Chaos Theory! Professor Stowe is the author of numerous publications and has been a featured speaker on C-SPAN and the Pennsylvania Cable Network. He is a member of the Society for Military History and the Society of Civil War Historians. He was awarded the Department of the Army Commander’s Award for Civilian Service in 2011 and the Department of the Army Superior Civilian Service Award in 2014. Correction: In the interview Professor Stowe credited a quote from Bierce, but for posterity wishes to note the quote was actually from Napoleon. Professor Stowe regrets the error. The quote attributed to Napoleon Bonaparte is: "History is a set of lies agreed upon."  The quote by Ambrose Bierce is: "History is an account, mostly false, or events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools."
