SUMMARY:The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Join award-winning poet Lisa G. Samia for an online talk on her Civil War poetry series\, including The Nameless and the Faceless. \n\n\n\nNot everyone who witnessed and experienced the Civil War is represented in history. By combining the rhyme and narrative of poetry with Civil War history\, lost voices of the past come forth to share their experiences and suffering—where the humanity of history and the songs of the soul come together to create a deeper empathy for those lost and unknown. \n\n\n\nLisa G. Samia is an award-winning poet and author specializing in American Civil War history. She was selected as a National Park Service Artist-in-Residence for Stones River National Battlefield in 2025\, Manassas National Battlefield Park in 2021\, and Gettysburg National Military Park in 2020 for her poetry. Samia is the author of three Civil War poetry and essay collections: The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War\, The Nameless and the Faceless Women of the Civil War\, and The Nameless and the Faceless of the Civil War: Gettysburg\, Manassas & More. Her third book in the series received a nomination from the International Edgar Allan Poe Festival & Awards in October 2024 in Baltimore.

SUMMARY:Why Gettysburg Matters
DESCRIPTION:Why has Gettysburg always been the Civil War’s most famous battle and how has it shaped American national identity? In this talk\, Professor of U.S. Political History Adam I.P. Smith argues that ever since the news of Confederate defeat spread on July 4\, 1863\, Gettysburg has been imagined as a place of national “rebirth”. In its own way\, it has been — and continues to be — as vital to the story of American nationhood as anything that happened in the Revolution. \n\n\n\nAdam Smith is the Edward Orsborn Professor of U.S. Political History and Director of the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford. His latest book is “Gettysburg”. Professor Smith is also the host of ‘The Last Best Hope’ podcast.  \n\n\n\nMembers Reception at 5 pm
