SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Fit for Duty: The Veteran Reserve Corps in the Civil War and Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 8  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm  |  Speaker: Dr. Steven Goldman \nDescribed by the Indiana Adjutant General “as unusual a fighting force as the United States ever armed and equipped for action\,” the dreadfully-named\, preposterously uniformed Invalid Corps came into existence in April 1863\, and within a year became the Veteran Reserve Corps (VRC). Despite general derision from able-bodied filed unit comrades\, they provided valuable garrison\, guard\, and other types of off-line duty\, and enabled superb soldiers to continue serving their country during the Civil War\, and after. \nDr. Stephen A. Goldman will discuss the VRC’s formation\, organization\, responsibilities\, and under-recognized contribution to the successful July 1864 defense of Washington. He will then explain how VRC soldiers played a major role in one of Reconstruction’s most vital organizations\, the Freedmen’s Bureau.
