SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture Series: The Women Founders and History of the Milwaukee Soldiers Home
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 8  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm  |  Speaker: Terry Arliskas \nThe Milwaukee VA Soldiers Home was one of the first soldiers’ homes in the country\, and the only one where it’s still possible to experience the buildings and designed landscape together in something close to their original form. The 90-acre campus has served veterans continuously since shortly after the Civil War and includes some of the oldest buildings in the entire VA system.   But this special site would not have been possible in the first place without the dedicated efforts of the West Side Soldiers’ Aid Society\, a group of Milwaukee women who during the Civil War were committed to creating a place for veterans to heal and recuperate.  Terry Arliskas will discuss who these women were\, what they accomplished\, and how their legacy lives on the grounds of the Milwaukee VA yet today.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture Series: D.L. Moody and the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 12  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm  |  Speaker: Steve Worsham  \nDwight L. Moody moved from Boston to Chicago as a teenager shortly before the start of the Civil War.  Moody achieved financial success in the shoe business but serving a Christian mission became his greater focus as he matured.  To that end\, Moody worked to meet the social and spiritual needs of orphaned children living on the streets of Chicago. \nWhen the Civil War started\,  Moody became heavily involved in the fledgling YMCA in Chicago. He eventually quit his job in order to minister to the children of Chicago and to support Union troops through the YMCA and the United States Christian Commission (USCC).  According to family records\, Moody traveled to nine battlefield sites\, arriving with either the YMCA or USCC to serve as a nurse\, transporter of supplies\, stretcher bearer\, substitute letter writer\, chaplain…whatever was needed in service of the troops. \nIn his talk\, Mr. Worsham will discuss the work of D.L. Moody with the YMCA and USCC war efforts\, particularly in Chicago and the Western Theater battlefields of the Civil War.
