SUMMARY:The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning poet Lisa G. Samia for an online talk on her Civil War poetry series\, including The Nameless and the Faceless. \n\n\n\nNot everyone who witnessed and experienced the Civil War is represented in history. By combining the rhyme and narrative of poetry with Civil War history\, lost voices of the past come forth to share their experiences and suffering—where the humanity of history and the songs of the soul come together to create a deeper empathy for those lost and unknown. \n\n\n\nLisa G. Samia is an award-winning poet and author specializing in American Civil War history. She was selected as a National Park Service Artist-in-Residence for Stones River National Battlefield in 2025\, Manassas National Battlefield Park in 2021\, and Gettysburg National Military Park in 2020 for her poetry. Samia is the author of three Civil War poetry and essay collections: The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War\, The Nameless and the Faceless Women of the Civil War\, and The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War: Gettysburg\, Manassas & More. Her third book in the series received a nomination from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards in October 2024 in Baltimore.

SUMMARY:Unconditional Surrender: Ulysses S. Grant in the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:From “Sam” to “Unconditional Surrender” Grant\, discover how an unassuming officer rose to command all U.S. forces. \n\n\n\nHis friends called him “Sam.” His wife called him “Lyss” or “Victor.” His initials inspired a nickname tied to one of his greatest battlefield triumphs: “Unconditional Surrender Grant.” The unassuming Grant never expected to play a significant role in the Civil War\, yet by its end\, he commanded every soldier in the United States armed forces.

SUMMARY:The Invincible Twelfth with Benjamin Cwayna
DESCRIPTION:Join Benjamin L. Cwayna for a virtual talk on the “Invincible Twelfth” and the bold\, costly legacy of the 12th South Carolina Infantry. \n\n\n\nThe 12th South Carolina Infantry took part in nearly every major engagement of the war in the Eastern Theater and earned a sterling reputation for its drill and discipline. It became known for its impetuous\, devastating\, and sometimes reckless attacks and counterattacks. This boldness came at a heavy cost: by the war’s end\, only about 150 of the nearly 1\,400 men who served in the regiment’s ranks surrendered at Appomattox Court House. \n\n\n\nJoin Benjamin L. Cwayna for this virtual talk to discover what years of research and exhaustive study of primary sources have revealed about the “invincible Twelfth.”

SUMMARY:Asia Booth Clarke: Virtual Talk with Lisa Samia
DESCRIPTION:The story of Asia Booth Clarke’s life is relatively unknown\, but she chronicled the Booth family through her letters\, poems\, and books. In her memoir about her brother John\, Asia condemned his murderous act\, but she continued to love him. However\, because John made the Booth name infamous\, she suffered a lifetime of collateral damage. The five words from Shakespeare that concluded her memoir of her brother\, “so runs the world away\,” were the bitter fruit of trying to explain what was in her heart\, which was and always would be unexplainable. \n\n\n\nLisa G. Samia is an award-winning poet and author specializing in Civil War history. She has served as Artist in Residence with the National Park Service at Gettysburg\, Manassas\, and Stones River\, honored for her poetry exploring the personal narratives of the Civil War.

Lisa is currently researching the life of Asia Booth Clarke while continuing her work in Civil War poetry.

SUMMARY:An Unholy Traffic: Virtual Talk with Dr. Robert Colby

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk: Never Such a Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Follow Generals Robert E. Lee and John Pope as they converge on ground bloodied just thirteen months earlier. Since then\, the armies had grown in size and efficiency\, and combat between them would dwarf that first battle. For the second summer in a row\, forces would clash on the plains of Manassas\, and the results would be far more terrible. Join us as historians Dan Welch and Kevin Pawlak explore the Battle of Second Manassas.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Jim Downs - "Maladies of Empire: How Colonialism\, Slavery\, and War Transformed Medicine"
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Book Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us as historian Jim Downs reveals that the study of infectious disease depended crucially on the unrecognized contributions of non-consenting subjects―conscripted soldiers\, enslaved people\, and subjects of the empire.\n\n\n\nPlantations\, slave ships\, and battlefields were the laboratories in which physicians came to understand the spread of disease. Military doctors learned about the importance of air quality by monitoring Africans confined to the bottom of slave ships. The field hospitals of the Crimean War and the US Civil War were carefully observed experiments in disease transmission.\n\n\n\nJim Downs is the Gilder Lehrman-National Endowment for the Humanities Professor of Civil War Era Studies and History. He is the author\, co-author\, and editor of multiple books and anthologies\, including Maladies of Empire: How Colonialism\, Slavery\, and War Transformed Medicine (Harvard UP\, 2021)\, which has been translated into Chinese\, French\, Korean\, Japanese\, and Russian.\n\n\n\nHe has published articles and essays in The Atlantic\, The New Yorker\, Slate\, Vice\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, and The L.A. Review of Books\, among others. Downs has published book chapters in several edited volumes\, most recently in Remembering the Memphis Massacre: An American Story (UGA Press\, 2020). Downs is the Editor of Civil War History. He was awarded the Sheila Biddle Ford Foundation Fellowship at the Hutchins Center for African and African American History at Harvard University in 2022-23. Downs earned his P.h.D. in History at Columbia University\, his MA in American Studies also at Columbia University\, and his BA in American Literature at the University of Pennsylvania. The Organization of American Historians named him a Distinguished Lecturer in 2014-17\, which was then renewed in 2017 and again in 2020. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReexamining the foundations of modern medicine\, Jim Downs shows that the study of infectious disease depended crucially on the unrecognized contributions of nonconsenting subjects―conscripted soldiers\, enslaved people\, and subjects of empire. Plantations\, slave ships\, and battlefields were the laboratories in which physicians came to understand the spread of disease.\n\n\n\n\nPurchase Book\n\n\n\n\nThank you for supporting our mission by purchasing through our online store.
