SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Spared and Shared: Saving History from the American Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 11  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: William Griffing \nWhen William Griffing (“Griff”) retired 15 years ago\, he dedicated himself to the preservation of American history. He uncovered a substantial volume of historical content hidden within letters and diaries from the Civil War era\, much of which remained unpublished and unknown to the public. Most of this material was held by descendants or collectors. Griff will elucidate how he accessed these invaluable sources and made transcriptions accessible to the public through his Spared & Shared websites. He will also discuss how the materials he unearthed culminated in a recently published book on Abraham Lincoln\, featuring contemporaneous accounts of the 16th President that had never been published before. Copies of his book\, A Great and Good Man; Rare\, First-Hand Accounts & Observations of Abraham Lincoln will be available for purchase for those who are interested.

SUMMARY:The U.S. Navy and the American Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 18  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Aaron Rowland\, Management and Program Analyst\, Naval History and Heritage Command \nThe American Civil War was fought in thousands of places\, including on the high seas\, on the coasts\, and in the harbors. The Anaconda Plan of 1861 set in motion events that allowed the Northern armies operating against the south to complete their stranglehold of the Confederacy. As a result\, the American Civil War introduced several modern aspects of warfare including blockading of southern ports\, economic impacts on foreign markets\, introductions of ironclads and submarines\, and riverine warfare creating a lasting legacy on military operations.
