Anne and David Woodbury, on the Cowell-Purisima Coastal Trail, Half Moon Bay, California (2023)

David Woodbury earned a degree in History from the University of Evansville, in Indiana. He pursued a long career in publishing, beginning as co-founder of Savas Woodbury Publishers (now Savas Beatie), followed by a decade with Stanford University Press. From 2004 to 2019 he was on staff at Cengage Learning in San Francisco. He is the editor of Talking about History: Historians Discuss the Civil War (2014), and was a principal contributor to and cartographer for the Library of Congress Civil War Desk Reference. David has organized group visits to America’s Civil War battlefields for over 25 years, a tradition that developed out of years of managing an online study group, the CompuServe Civil War Forum. Starting in 2018, Woodbury Historical Tours expanded their tour offerings into other areas, including Indian Wars, and themes and events related to the American West, including the custom, Civil War to Cold War in New Mexico (2019). Tours under development will explore the world of the Ancestral Puebloans, the Lewis and Clark Trail, and the California Gold Rush.
