SUMMARY:Encaustic Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 26  |  10:30am – 12:30pm  |  Instructor: Kathy Laybourn  |  $76 ($95 non-members)  |  Register Here \nHave you ever made art by experimenting with melting Crayon when you were a kid? This workshop is designed for anyone who would like to be introduced to the “cold wax” encaustic method. Students will learn to add a soft\, beeswax mix into oil paint which is applied to an encaustic board and melted with a heat gun. Successive layers of paint can be built up and mixed media elements can also be added to the layers to create both representational and abstract pieces of art.

SUMMARY:The Great Lakes Civil War Forum: Vicksburg Is The Key
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 23  |  9:30am – 4:00pm  |  $64 ($80 non-members)  \nRegister Here \nCheck-in starts at 8:30am\, program begins at 9:30am. \nSchedule of Presentations \nChampion Hill: Decisive Battle for Vicksburg  |  Presented by Dr. Tim Smith\, University of Tennessee-Martin \nThrough all the long months of operations against Vicksburg\, Champion Hill stands as the most decisive battle of that decisive campaign. Fought on May 16\, 1863\, Champion Hill almost literally decided the fate of Vicksburg and the Confederate army that defended it. Ulysses S. Grant even wrote to his friend William T. Sherman that night\, “I am of the opinion that the battle of Vicksburg has been fought.” So why was the fight such a decisive Union victory? Terrain\, numbers\, and timing all played a role\, but in the end\, leadership was the biggest factor in victory and defeat. This lecture will compare and contrast Union and Confederate Leadership at Champion Hill and analyze the results mainly within the context of the two generals involved. \nFaithful Service\, Unselfish Devotion: Wisconsin Anecdotes During the Vicksburg Campaign  |  Presented by Andrew R. Miller\, Lead Interpretive Ranger and Historic Weapons Program Coordinator\, Vicksburg National Military Park \nAndrew Miller’s program will focus on the service of the over 9000 soldiers from Wisconsin who participated in the campaign to capture Vicksburg. \nForgotten Footnotes – Vicksburg’s Victims of Sickness and Disease  |  Presented by Rev. Robert Miller \nMedical professionals studying the Civil War have concluded that sickness from infectious illness was a major factor affecting the Vicksburg campaign. Confederate forces had a greater total illness rate\, diarrhea\, and malaria than did the attacking Union forces\, and it is reasonable to conclude that medical care affected the outcome of the Vicksburg campaign. Dr. Michael Brown avers that “The South’s significant medical disadvantages and increased risk of infectious diseases ensured a Northern victory.” We will examine the human interest perspective of this aspect of the Vicksburg campaign\, reflecting on the toll that sickness and disease played. Also considered will be some of the forgotten stories of people who suffered and died because of health issues. Notable among those who died by disease were General John Bowen\, Willie Sherman\, and several Catholic clergy ministering to troops at the time. \nA New Look at Old Abe’s Color Guard–Analyzing a Historical Image Using Artificial Intelligence  |  Presented by Xukai Zou\, Purdue University Indianapolis \nOne of the most well-known images of the Civil War is that of the 8th Wisconsin Infantry Color Guard and their live eagle mascot\, Old Abe\, following the fall of Vicksburg\, Mississippi in July 1863. Despite the subsequent fame of this iconic image\, the true identities of many of the color guard members have been lost to time. In this work\, researchers from Purdue University Indianapolis\, assisted by Civil War historians\, reexamine evidence from primary and secondary sources to identify a group of soldiers who potentially appear in the image. Using state-of-the-art\, artificial intelligence-based face recognition techniques\, researchers evaluate the relative likelihood of several of the color guard members’ potential identities. As a result\, the identities of several previously unidentified color guard members are proposed\, as well as new alternate identities of several previously-identified color guard members.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Chicago's Great Fire: The Destruction and Resurrection of an Iconic American City
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 13  |  12:00pm – 1:00pm |  Speaker: Carl Smith \nThe Great Chicago Fire of October 8-10\, 1871 which destroyed the heart of the country’s rising inland metropolis and left a third of its population homeless\, is one of history’s great disasters. If anything\, the city’s rapid recovery was even more remarkable\, revealing both Chicago’s resilience but also the world’s generosity. But both the city’s destruction and resurrection are a far more complicated–and interesting–story than this. This richly illustrated talk by the leading historian of the fire tells that story. \nCarl Smith is Franklyn Bliss Snyder Professor of English and American Studies and Professor of History\, Emeritus\, at Northwestern University. His books include Chicago and the American Literary Imagination\, 1880-1920; Urban Disorder and the Shape of Belief: The Great Chicago Fire\, the Haymarket Bomb\, and the Model Town of Pullman; The Plan of Chicago: Daniel Burnham and the Remaking of the American City; and City\, Water\, City Life; Water and the Infrastructure of Ideas in Urbanizing Philadelphia\, Boston\, and Chicago.
