Ms. Cohen-Williams -- The NASOH folks would like to get this out beyond the
ranks of historians, including to historical and nautical archaeologists.
Would you mind passing this on the HISTARCH and whoever else might be
interested?  Thanks very much --

Quasi-War with France, and the creation of the Navy Department in 1798.  The
program committee will consider proposals that deal with the broader period
