SUMMARY:Museum Book Club: My Dear Hamilton by Laura Kaye and Stephanie Day

SUMMARY:The 8th Illinois Cavalry: History and Anecdote
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, July 1  |  12pm-1pm \nFrom 1861 to 1865\, the 8th Illinois Cavalry—a Federal mounted regiment from Northern Illinois—transformed themselves into one of the finest fighting cavalry units in the Union Army. \nThe regiment’s most famous moment came on July 1\, 1863\, when troopers from Company E ot the  8th Illinois Cavalry stood watch three miles west of the town of Gettysburg\, Pennsylvania.  Shortly before 6:00AM that day\, two privates from the 8th noticed a large cloud of dust rising from the road in front of them. These two\, Thomas Kelly and James Hale\, reported their observations to Lieutenant Marcellus E. Jones at the regimental headquarters. \nLieutenant Jones rode west to the outpost. While taking cover behind a rail fence at 7:30AM\, he heard one of the men call out\, “Here they come!” Jones borrowed a carbine from Sergeant Levi Schaffer\, rested it on a fence rail\, and fired at a Confederate officer riding a white horse. The shot was at extreme range and missed the target\, but Jones had fired the opening shot of the Battle of Gettysburg. \nDon McArthur-Self’s program will be an overview of the history of the 8th Illinois Cavalry from its organization to its mustering out on July 17\, 1865.  His talk will also provide the audience with biographies of some of its more colorful members. \nDon McArthur-Self recently retired from teaching high school history after 34 years\, 27 of them at Maine South High School in Park Ridge\, Illinois.  In addition to teaching high school\, for the last 13 years he has reenacted and researched the 8th Illinois Cavalry; in 2018 he spent a week studying the Battle of Gettysburg at Gettysburg College with Dr. Allen Guelzo.  In his spare time he enjoys visiting small town cemeteries and looking for letters and diaries of 8th Illinois officers and troopers.  He lives in Naperville\, Illinois.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Port Hudson: The Most Significant Battlefield Photographs of the Civil War 2.0
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 10  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Dr. Lawrence Hewitt \nBetween June 14 and July 9\, 1863–the final 25 days of the 48-day siege of Port Hudson–the photographic firm of McPherson & Oliver moved about the battlefield memorializing soldiers in action–and in combat! In the process of making this visual record of opposing armies actively engaged\, the photographers created one of the greatest visual records of the Civil War. Their images included one taken at midnight (the first ever taken in the dark)\, one converted into a composite print (created by combining portions of two negatives)\, the Confederate army at the surrender ceremony\, and examples of time-lapse photography. Sadly\, the duo seldom receives credit for these images. Other studios\, including Matthew Brady’s\, published the McPherson & Oliver’s images as their own work. As with the battlefield they immortalized\, McPherson and Oliver deserve better. \nLawrence Lee Hewitt was a professor of history at Southeastern Louisiana University. He has authored Port Hudson\, Confederate Bastion on the Mississippi and coedited four volumes of essays under the collective title of Confederate Generals in the Western Theater and three volumes of essays under the collective title of Confederate Generals in the Trans-Mississippi Theater.

SUMMARY:Museum Book Club: Our First Civil War: Patriots and Loyalists in the American Revolution by H.W. Brands
DESCRIPTION:George Washington and Benjamin Franklin were the unlikeliest of rebels. Washington in the 1770s stood at the apex of Virginia society. Franklin was more successful still\, having risen from humble origins to world fame. John Adams might have seemed a more obvious candidate for rebellion\, being of cantankerous temperament. Even so\, he revered the law. Yet all three men became rebels against the British Empire that fostered their success. \nThursday\, August 27  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Discussion led by: Emily Mentzel  |  Free\, registration appreciated  |  Register Here

SUMMARY:Museum Book Club: Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips
DESCRIPTION:In 1874\, in the wake of the War\, erasure\, trauma\, and namelessness haunt civilians and veterans\, renegades and wanderers\, freedmen and runaways. Twelve-year-old ConaLee\, the adult in her family for as long as she can remember\, finds herself on a buckboard journey with her mother\, Eliza\, who hasn’t spoken in more than a year. They arrive at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in West Virginia\, delivered to the hospital’s entrance by a war veteran who has forced himself into their world. There\, far from family\, a beloved neighbor\, and the mountain home they knew\, they try to reclaim their lives. \nThursday\, October 29  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Discussion led by: Emily Mentzel  |  Free\, registration appreciated  |  Register Here

SUMMARY:Museum Book Club: Written in the Waters by Tara Roberts
DESCRIPTION:When Tara Roberts first caught sight of a photograph at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History depicting the scuba and underwater archaeology group Diving With a Purpose\, it called out to her. Here were Black women and men strapping on masks\, fins\, and tanks to explore Atlantic Ocean waters along the coastlines of Africa\, North America\, and Central America\, seeking the wrecks of slave ships long lost in time. Inspired\, Roberts joined them—and started on a path of discovery more challenging and personal than she could ever have imagined. \nThursday\, December 17  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Discussion led by: Emily Mentzel  |  Free\, registration appreciated  |  Register Here
