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:Opium Slavery with Jonathan S. Jones
DESCRIPTION:Join Jonathan S. Jones for a virtual talk on Civil War veterans\, opiate addiction\, and how its legacy connects to today’s opioid crisis. \n\n\n\nDuring the Civil War\, opium and morphine were widely used because they were easy to get\, making them a big part of wartime medicine. After the war ended\, thousands of sick and injured soldiers became addicted\, or as nineteenth-century Americans phrased it\, “enslaved” to the drug. Veterans\, their families\, and communities struggled to deal with the health and social effects that came with addiction. \n\n\n\nMedical and government authorities didn’t always respond well\, often saying addiction was caused by moral weakness\, lack of manliness\, or mental problems. Framing addiction as “opium slavery” limited the effectiveness of care and left many veterans to suffer needlessly for decades after the war ended. \n\n\n\nUsing veterans’ own accounts\, along with hospital and asylum records\, government reports\, newspapers\, and advertisements\, Jonathan S. Jones brings attention to these stories. In doing so\, Jones provides critical historical context for the modern opioid crisis\, which bears a tragic resemblance to that of the post–Civil War era.
