SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Combat in the American Civil War: Infantry\, Cavalry\, Artillery
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 8  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Dr. Steve Fratt \nSome have seen the Civil War as the first modern war due to the introduction of new technologies. They also mention that sadly\, the casualties on the battlefield were caused by employing obsolete tactics against these new technologies. Our guest will explain how the American Civil War fits within the era of modern warfare and how the tactics used were appropriate for the last musket war of the nineteenth century. \nDr. Steve Fratt is Professor of History – Emeritas who taught for 30 years at Trinity International University in Deerfield\, Illinois. His perspective on the Civil War is uniquely informed by his study of the historical sources\, his articles and publications\, 25 years of experience in the field as a reenactor (including 7 years of commanding the Federal Army in Chicago)\, and his design of tabletop miniature games of “war college” quality.

SUMMARY:Civil War Media Club: On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, August 19  |  6:30pm – 8:00pm  |  Instructor: Doug Dammann  | $8 ($10 for non-members)  |  Register Here \nBefore 1862\, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine\, where he was a minister and mild-mannered professor of speech and rhetoric at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army\, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes. \nAward-winning historian Ronald C. White’s cradle-to-grave biography of General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain examines Chamberlain from his upbringing in rural Maine to his tenacious\, empathetic military leadership and his influential postwar public service\, exploring a question that still plagues so many veterans: How do you make a civilian life of meaning after having experienced the extreme highs and lows of war? \nMedia Club attendees are encouraged to read the book before the meeting and come prepared to share their views and opinions on it in an open forum.
