The Fight for the Old North State: The Civil War in North Carolina, January-May 1864 , by Hampton Newsome, has been named by the Atlanta Civil War Round Table as the 2020 winner of the prestigious Richard Barksdale Harwell Award.

He is also co-editor of Civil War Talks: Further Reminiscences of George S. Bernard and His Fellow Veterans (University of Virginia Press, 2012), along with John Selby and John Horn.
