SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: The Organ of the Soldiers: An Introduction to Civil War Camp Newspapers
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 8  |  12pm-1pm  |  Presented by: Dan Freas \n“Camp newspapers are a feature of the war that is worth attention\,” reported a St. Louis newspaper in 1862. “The camp paper is the organ of the soldiers\, through which they communicate their condition\, wants\, enjoyments\, and local news to the public\, and to their distant friends.” Historians have documented more than 200 camp newspapers printed during the Civil War. The majority of these publications were published by printers in Union regiments using confiscated shops\, equipment and materials in occupied southern communities. A few were created using portable printing offices. Mr. Freas’s presentation will introduce you to the printers\, technology\, and content from some of these camp newspapers which\, given the lack of military or government censorship\, provide honest and intriguing accounts of the soldier experience. An emphasis will be placed on camp newspapers associated with the Upper Middle West.
