Take Five: Jim McClure, journalist, historian, author and blogger
Today I have the pleasure of introducing Jim McClure, editor of the York Daily Record/Sunday News in York, Pa. Jim has penned numerous history books, including the recently released “East of Gettysburg” on Kindle (previously available in hardback). I’ve worked with Jim for more than a decade, and he’s one of my heroes. Not only is he a terrific journalist and author, but the best mentor I’ve ever had.
He’s agreed to kick off my Take Five series. If you’re a published author and would liked to be featured, email me at Buffy@ydr.com and put “Take Five” in the subject line. And now, meet Jim.

Questions
Q. If you could have dinner with any historical figure, who would it be and what would you ask?
A. Jonathan Edwards was a 18th-century theologian and philosopher, a leading New England intellectual of his day. He produced a body of work so large that scholars at Yale and elsewhere have spent years preparing it for publication and still have a way to go. I would ask him simply: “How did you do so much, so provocatively, so well?

New Civil War book hits stores
I just gotta give my boss, Jim McClure, a plug as well as a loud round of applause. He and co-writer Scott Mingus just released their book, CIVIL WAR VOICES FROM YORK COUNTY, PA: REMEMBERING THE REBELLION AND THE GETTYSBURG CAMPAIGN in time for the kickoff of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War on April 12, 2011.
Jim talks about how the book came about in this post on his York Town Square blog.
Most of the stories and photos in the book came from the scrapbooks and oral traditions of York County families, and they cover the home front and war front.
Please pop over to Jim's blog and read about his newest book and about his journey to publication. Jim has written many history books and is not only a great person but a great journalist.
