SUMMARY:In-Person Book Talk: After the Fire with Nelson Lankford
DESCRIPTION:Explore Richmond’s rebirth after the 1865 fire in After the Fire with Dr. Nelson Lankford in this compelling look at a city reshaped by war.\n\n\n\nIn April 1865\, the war that had consumed Richmond for four years ended in a massive fire that nearly destroyed the city. As the smoke cleared\, no one knew what kind of society would emerge to replace the world that had been lost. After the Fire offers a wide range of perspectives that bring this vanished moment to life—one marked by hardship\, defeat\, celebration\, false starts\, and the rise of Confederate nostalgia and attempts at racial reconciliation. The book traces the struggles of Confederates and Unionists\, men and women\, and Black and white residents as they fought to shape the postwar future of Virginia’s capital city. \n\n\n\nFor thirty years\, Dr. Nelson D. Lankford edited the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography\, the quarterly journal of the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. He is the author or editor of eight books\, the best known being Richmond Burning: The Last Days of the Confederate Capital. His new book\, which he will discuss in this lecture\, is its sequel. After the Fire: Richmond in Defeat continues the story of the city and its people in the aftermath of war and devastation. \n\n\n\nDr. Lankford is a native of Hampton\, Virginia. He received his B.A. from the University of Richmond and his Ph.D. and MBA from Indiana University Bloomington. \n\n\n\n\n5 PM: Members Reception\n\n\n\n6 – 7:15 PM: Lecture followed by Book Signing

SUMMARY:Virtual Talk: Feeding Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia with Michael C. Hardy

Join us as author and historian Michael C. Hardy explores this often-neglected topic. \n\n\n\nAfter three decades and more than twenty-five books\, Michael C. Hardy is still finding unexplored corners of history. His books\, articles\, and popular blog posts cover the history of people\, places\, and events across the Southern United States.

SUMMARY:Asia Booth Clarke: Virtual Talk with Lisa Samia
DESCRIPTION:The story of Asia Booth Clarke’s life is relatively unknown\, but she chronicled the Booth family through her letters\, poems\, and books. In her memoir about her brother John\, Asia condemned his murderous act\, but she continued to love him. However\, because John made the Booth name infamous\, she suffered a lifetime of collateral damage. The five words from Shakespeare that concluded her memoir of her brother\, “so runs the world away\,” were the bitter fruit of trying to explain what was in her heart\, which was and always would be unexplainable. \n\n\n\nLisa G. Samia is an award-winning poet and author specializing in Civil War history. She has served as Artist in Residence with the National Park Service at Gettysburg\, Manassas\, and Stones River\, honored for her poetry exploring the personal narratives of the Civil War. Her acclaimed series The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War earned a 2024 nomination from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards. Lisa is currently researching the life of Asia Booth Clarke while continuing her work in Civil War poetry.

SUMMARY:An Unholy Traffic: Virtual Talk with Dr. Robert Colby
