A FREE COMMUNITY PROGRAM
"DUELS, FOOLS AND SCOUNDRELS OF THE CIVIL WAR"
THIS INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING LOOK AT HISTORY WILL BE PRESENTED BY HERB KAUFMAN, MUSEUM CURATOR AND TREASURER.
Strange but true; this axiom was never more relevant than describing many of the unusual and extraordinary occurrences during the four years of the Civil War. While much of our history is dominated by the major battles such as Gettysburg and biographies of the key commanders such as Grant and Lee; the four years of the Civil War also included a significant number of strange and highly unusual personalities and incidents that have generally escaped modern discussion.
This presentation focuses on unusual and often controversial incidents and events. Topics include the fascinating story of murder and deceit of the incredible General Daniel E. Sickles, the strange case of Ulric Dahlgren and the plot to kill the Confederate President, the spy who was hung twice and buried in three places, dueling generals, murders, the plot to burn New York, sensational trials, and the stories of eccentric and unusual personalities and events.
THE PROGRAM WILL BE BROADCAST THROUGH ZOOM.
