SUMMARY:"Yankees In the Hill City" Book Talk at ACWM-Appomattox
DESCRIPTION:With three railroads and the James River Canal passing through the city\, Lynchburg\, Virginia\, was a major confederate hospital center and supply hub during the American Civil War.

Potter\, author and Professor of History\, Emeritus from the University of Lynchburg\, presents on his most recent book\, “Yankees in the Hill City: The Union Prisoner of War Camp in Lynchburg\, Virginia\, 1862-1865.” The lecture begins at 6:00 pm\, followed by a question-and-answer session and book signing by Dr. Potter.

SUMMARY:Virtual Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:While largely overlooked or treated as a footnote to Gen. Jubal A. Early’s raid on Washington in the summer of 1864\, the fight at Cool Spring—characterized by one soldier as “a sharp and obstinate affair”—proved critical to Washington’s immediate safety. It became a transformative moment for those who fought along the banks of the Shenandoah River. Join us as Jonathan A. Noyalas analyzes the decisions of leaders on both sides\, explores the environment’s impact on the battle\, and investigates how the combat impacted the soldiers and their families \n\n\n\nJonathan A. Noyalas is a history professor at Shenandoah University and director of its McCormick Civil War Institute. He is the author or editor of fifteen books. Noyalas is the recipient of numerous awards for his teaching and scholarship including the State Council for Higher Education in Virginia’s Outstanding Faculty Award.
