sunday, FEBRUARY 6, 2022 1:00 PM

THE G. A. R. CIVIL WAR MUSEUM PRESNTS A SPECIAL PROGRAM:

"VOLUNTEERS, SUBSTITUTES, AND DRAFTED MEN: ENLISTING IN THE CIVIL WAR"

THIS PROGRAM WILL BE PRESENTED BY NOTED

HISTORIAN BRYAN CHEESEBORO

Bryan Cheeseboro is a member of the 54th Massachusetts reenacting regiment and a historian with the National Archives. He has been featured on American Battlefield Trust's "Zoom Goes the History" and "Antietam Live." He is on the board of the Alliance to Preserve the Civil Defenses of Washington D. C.

This program will delve into the often misrepresented methods of the enlistment of the American Civil War volunteer soldier. We often hear of the patriotic man happily enlisting to serve "Uncle Abe." However, this is only a part of the larger story. This program brings out the positive and not so positive methods of enlistment including the draft and the use of substitutes.

A VIRTUAL SEAT FOR THIS OUTSTANDING PROGRAM CAN BE OBTAINED FROM: garmuslib1866@gmail.com
