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: Two Histories Merge at the Underground Railroad: Abolitionists Seth Paine and Harriet Tubman
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 11  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by Nancy Shumm and E. Olivia Darden \nAuthor of The Anointed One\, Nancy Schumm\, and Narrator of the Audiobook\, E. Olivia Darden will present Seth Paine and Harriet Tubman in a new light focusing on Seth’s work on the Midwest Underground Railroad\, black history\, and his collaboration with others in Chicago and Lake Zurich that mirrored the work of Harriett Tubman along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States. While Harriet and others were hard at work in the East\, abolitionists in Chicago assisted freedom seekers escaping from southern states leading them to the Great Lakes and Canada. This program will include readings from the book\, details of the Underground Railroad activity in the Great Lakes\, and the work of Harriett Tubman in the East. \nThe untold story of humanitarian and progressive activist Seth Paine comes to life in the narration of The Anointed One by activist and Harriet Tubman descendant E. Olivia Darden\, Esq. When author and Baltimore resident Nancy Schumm and Darden met\, their common interest in civil rights and humanitarian works inspired them to combine their efforts to promote the historical biography of Lake Zurich founder Seth Paine.
