VIRTUAL PROGRAM: Short Stories of the Civil War

April 25, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 8:15 pm

This is not your boring High School history class! If you do not like the subject being discussed, it will change in just a few minutes. Learn about Army Sutlers, Love Tokens (jewelry), an anti-war poem that became a Christmas Carol, and the unknown stories of ordinary but heroic soldiers just doing their duty. I call one soldier the Rodney Dangerfield of the Civil War because he never gets credit for his actions that earned him a Congressional Gold Medal. Be amazed at what you did not learn in school about the Civil War.
