SUMMARY:Slavery & Freedom: Lectures & Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:“Who freed the slaves?” Since the end of the Civil War this complex question is one that many people have sought to answer definitively. Often due to the many different ways that Americans remember the process of emancipation\, its answer remains elusive. However\, thinking about this significant question opens opportunities for learning about different historical perspectives. Come hear Tim Talbott ponder this question and explore the possible answers at 1:00 p.m. \nA second speaker\, Eugene Meyer will speak at 2:00 p.m. about his recently published book Five for Freedom: The African American Soldiers in John Brown’s Army. Late on the evening of October 16\, 1859\, John Brown and his band of 18 raiders descended on Harpers Ferry at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. In an ill-fated attempt to incite a slave insurrection\, they seized the federal arsenal\, took hostages and retreated to a fire engine house where they barricaded themselves until a contingent of US Marines battered their way in on October 18. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe raiders were routed\, and several were captured. Soon after\, they were tried\, convicted and hanged. Among Brown’s raiders were five African Americans whose lives and deaths have long been overshadowed by their martyred leader and\, even today\, are little remembered. Two—John Copeland and Shields Green—were executed. Two others—Dangerfield Newby and Lewis Leary—died at the scene. Newby\, the first to go\, was shot in the neck\, then dismembered by townspeople and left for the hogs. He was trying to liberate his enslaved wife and children. \nOf the five\, only Osborne Perry Anderson escaped and lived to publish the lone insider account of the event that\, most historians agree\, was a catalyst to the catastrophic Civil War that followed over the country’s original sin of slavery. \nFive for Freedom is the story of these five brave men\, the circumstances in which they were born and how they came together at this time and place\, grew to manhood and died. Their lives and deaths affected future generations\, not just of their descendants\, but of us all. It is a story that continues to resonate in the present. \nThis event is included with regular Park admission or Park membership and a limited quantity of books will be available for purchase and signing. \n

SUMMARY:Veterans Day Observance & World War I Centennial
DESCRIPTION:Pamplin Historical Park & The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier is observing this Veterans Day with an observance ceremony and additional activities on November 11\, 2018. This year marks the centennial of the conclusion and armistice of World War I fought 1914-1918. Over 4.7 million Americans served in “the war to end all wars” and approximately 63\,000 did not return home. A further 200\,000 were wounded bearing emotional and physical scars for the remainder of their lives. This Veterans Day\, the park will honor the service of all service members who have fought in defense of America and liberty from the American Revolutionary War to the present day. \nA remembrance ceremony will start at 10:45 a.m. with a presentation of colors by the Virginia State University ROTC Color Guard followed by a Ringing of Bell Service and artillery salute. This will be followed by a living-history demonstration where park visitors can interact with World War I Doughboys and learn more about the American soldier in the “Great War”. A walking tour led by park staff will explore the parallels between the original Civil War earthworks at the park and the trench fighting that took place in World War I. Inside the park’s Education Center United States Army National Guard Historian Alexander Barnes will afterwards present a talk titled “Virginia’s Preparation and Participation in World War I” at 2:30 p.m. Activities will conclude with a selection of Civil War soldier’s songs in a musical performance by the Haversacks and Hardtack String Band in The National Museum of the Civil War Soldier. Throughout the day a special display of artifacts from World War I will be available for viewing in the museum. \nAll activities and the ceremony are included with regular park admission to the general public and free to active duty service members and veterans.

SUMMARY:In Memory of Self and Comrades: Book Signing Event
DESCRIPTION:Join author Michael K. Shaffer as he discusses his new book In memory of Self and Comrades which is a story about Thomas W. Colley\, 1st Virginia Cavalry. This event is included with regular admission.\n\nThomas W. Colley served in one of the most active and famous units in the Civil War\, the 1st Virginia Cavalry\, which fought in battles in the Eastern Theater\, from First Manassas/Bull Run to the defense of Petersburg. Colley was born November 11\, 1837\, outside Abingdon\, Virginia\, and grew up knowing the daily demands of life on a farm. In May 1861\, along with the other members of the Washington Mounted Rifles\, he left his home in Washington County and reported to camp in Richmond. During the war\, Colley received wounds on three different occasions: first at Waterloo Bridge in 1862\, again at Kelly’s Ford in 1863\, and finally at Haw’s Shop in 1864. The engagement at Haw’s Shop resulted in the amputation of his left foot\, thereby ending his wartime service.\n\n\n\nThe first modern scholarly edition of Colley’s writings\, In Memory of Self and Comrades dramatizes Colley’s fate as a wounded soldier mustered out before the war’s conclusion. Colley’s postwar reflections on the war reveal his struggle to earn a living and maintain his integrity while remaining somewhat unreconciled to his condition. He found much of his solace through writing and sought to advance his education after the war. As one of an estimated 20\,000 soldiers who underwent amputation during the Civil War\, his memoirs reveal the challenges of living with what many might recognize today as post-traumatic stress disorder. Annotations from editor Michael K. Shaffer provide further context to Colley’s colorful and insightful writings on both his own condition and the condition of other veterans also dealing with amputations. \nMichael K. Shaffer is an instructor at Kennesaw State University’s College of Continuing and Professional Education. He is the author of Washington County\, Virginia\, in the Civil War.

SUMMARY:The War Outside My Window Book Signing Event
DESCRIPTION:Join editor Janet Elizabeth Croon for a discussion and signing of a Civil War Title: The War Outside My Window: The Civil War Diary of LeRoy Wiley Gresham\, 1860-1865. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeRoy Gresham was born in 1847 to an affluent and prominent slaveholding family in Macon\, Georgia. As a young child he suffered a horrific leg and back injury that left him an invalid. Educated\, inquisitive\, perceptive\, and exceptionally witty\, the 12-year-old began keeping a journal in 1860—just before secession and Civil War tore the country and his world apart. He continued to write even as his health deteriorated until both the war and his life ended in 1865. His unique view of a waning age is published here for the first time in A Son of Georgia: The Civil War Journals of LeRoy Wiley Gresham\, 1860-1865. Edited and annotated with meticulous care by Janet Croon\, A Son of Georgia: The Civil War Journals of LeRoy Wiley Gresham\, 1860-1865 captures the spirit and the character of a young privileged white teenager witnessing the demise of his world even as his own body is slowly failing him. Just as Anne Frank has come down to us as the adolescent voice of World War II\, LeRoy Gresham will now be remembered as a young voice of the Civil War South. \n\nBook’s webpage: https://tinyurl.com/y7be9nnx\n\nThis event is included with regular admission.
