SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Wildfire\, Miss Clampitt\, and the Wonder Girl from the West: Early Women Sculptors of Abraham Lincoln
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 14  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Mr. Dave Wiegers  \nIn the middle of the 19th century\, women were not generally a force in American sculpture. Art\, and especially sculpture\, were a male-centric occupation. Three women sculpted images of Abraham Lincoln in the 1860s and 1870s\, and each has an interesting story. Two of these women sculptors\, Vinnie Ream (Hoxie) and Sarah Fisher Ames\, would produce images of Lincoln that would be displayed in the United States Capitol building. A third\, Edmonia Lewis\, broke many barriers of race and gender to become a well-known sculptor. Each of these women has a unique story and\, other than Ream\, they have not had their stories widely told.

SUMMARY:“Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 22  |  1pm – 2pm  |  Presented by Ron Kirkwood \nThe blood stains are gone\, but the worn floorboards remain. The doctors\, nurses\, and patients who toiled and suffered and ached for home at the Army of the Potomac’s XI Corps hospital at the George Spangler Farm in Gettysburg have long since departed. Happily\, though\, their stories remain\, and noted journalist and George Spangler Farm expert Ronald D. Kirkwood brings these people and their experiences to life in “Too Much for Human Endurance”: The George Spangler Farm Hospitals and the Battle of Gettysburg. \nUsing a massive array of firsthand accounts\, Kirkwood re-creates the sprawling XI Corps hospital complex and the people who labored and suffered there—especially George and Elizabeth Spangler and their four children\, who built a thriving 166-acre farm only to witness it nearly destroyed when war paid them a bloody visit that summer of 1863. Stories rarely if ever told of nurses\, surgeons\, ambulance workers\, musicians\, teenage fighters\, and others are weaved seamlessly through gripping\, smooth-flowing prose.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: New Philadelphia\, Illinois: Seven Ways to Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 9  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Dr. Kate Williams-McWorter and Dr. Gerald McWorter \nFrom a distance\, New Philadelphia looked like a typical Illinois pioneer town of the mid-1800s. But New Philadelphia was not a typical pioneer town. As travelers got closer\, they would find a small but bustling community where Black and White villagers lived and worked side by side. For formerly enslaved Free Frank McWorter\, the town meant new beginnings and an opportunity to free family members enslaved in Kentucky. New Philadelphia\, which he founded in 1836\, is the first U.S. town platted and registered by an African American. \nGerald McWorter and Kate Williams-McWorter’s presentation will tell the story of this unique central Illinois town from its inception to its recognition at the United States’ 424th National Park in December 2022.
