SUMMARY:Images of War: Self-censorship versus a Search for Truth?
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Missing Soldiers Office on Thursday\, October 4th as the creator of “Bringing the Story of War to Our Doorsteps” speaks about Alexander Gardner’s Antietam photographs and war-time censorship throughout American history.  \nConfederate dead collected for burial (Courtesy of the Library of Congress) \nBob Kozak will be discussing the legacy of the haunting Antietam photographs and how media censorship during war-time evolved during conflicts in the 20th century. \nThe program will begin at 6 PM at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum. This is a “pay-what-you-please” event and donations for the museum will be collected at the end of the evening’s program. \nAbout “Bringing the Story of War to Our Doorsteps”  \n  \n“Bringing the War to Our Doorsteps” is a temporary installation restaging the exhibition of Alexander Gardner’s photographs taken at Antietam in September 1862. It is a rare chance for visitors to experience what viewers did more than 155 years ago as the Civil War raged. \nDisplay prints have been made to the same dimensions and style of the originals from high-definition digital files made available by the Library of Congress. To enhance the visitor’s experience\, there will be a 3-D theatre to view the photos\, which were shot with stereoscopic cameras\, in the way they were originally intended. Its purpose is to explore the evolving view of war-time photography from the Civil War to today and how modern media has contributed to American attitudes about armed conflict. The exhibition has been extended through November 3\, 2018.

SUMMARY:"The Capital Can't Be Taken!" - The Civil War Defenses of Washington
DESCRIPTION:Discover how Washington went from a defenseless capital to the most fortified city in the world. \nUnion troops posing by Fort Stevens \nAt the beginning of the Civil War in 1861\, there were no forts\, earthworks\, or other defenses to be found; the Union capital was incredibly vulnerable to Confederate attack. By 1865\, Washington D.C. was one of the most heavily fortified places in the world. As the nerve center of the Union war effort\, the Federal government and the U.S. Army allocated tremendous resources to the capital’s safety during the Civil War. Join Ranger Steve T. Phan (NPS) to learn how the Defenses of Washington evolved over the war. \nSteve T. Phan is a Park Ranger and historian at the Civil War Defenses of Washington. A military history scholar of the Civil War era\, Steve’s research focuses on military occupation\, operational command\, fortifications\, and the Western Theater during the Civil War. He holds a Masters degree in American History\, with a concentration in Public History. \nThis is a pay-what-you-please program.

SUMMARY:Parental Guidance Necessary - Children Experience the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Discover the Civil War as seen through the eyes of the children who experienced it firsthand.  \n \nOn May 3\, 2018 at the Missing Soldiers Office\, historian Kristen Hunter will illuminate some of the ways children in both the North and South experienced the Civil War. The presentation will begin at 6 PM. Admission is “pay-what-you-please.” \nEncouraged by their parents and swept up by wartime rhetoric\, children romanticized the war and were awe-inspired by their courageous soldiers in blue or gray. With their soldier costumes and toys\, young boys adopted soldier personas and acted out battles with their siblings. Some young girls\, inspired by the patriotic efforts of their mothers\, saved their pennies and knitted socks to send to soldiers in need.  \nFrom parading around in soldier costumes and staging mock battles in the yard\, to forming gangs and engaging in real battles with rocks\, the war greatly impacted the everyday lives of boys and girls in rural areas\, cities\, and even in the White House. \nKristen Hunter is a recent graduate of George Mason University’s History of Decorative Arts MA program. Her Master’s thesis\, “By Her Needle and Thread\,” explored how women used material objects of their production to influence how their family experienced the Civil War.

SUMMARY:The Freedmen's Bureau in Virginia
DESCRIPTION:Hear the remarkable story of the Freedmen’s Bureau in war-torn Virginia after the Civil War.  \nFreedmen’s Bureau office in Richmond\, VA. (Harper’s Weekly\, December 23\, 1865) \nEmmanuel Dabney will discuss  the Bureau of Refugees\, Freedmen\, and Abandoned Lands (usually referred to as the Freedmen’s Bureau) work in Virginia in the aftermath of the Civil War at the Missing Soldiers Office on April 19\, 2018 at 6 PM. The presentation will be “pay-what-you-please.” \nThe Freedmen’s Bureau was created in March 1865 to oversee the abandoned property of Southerners and provide aid to white Unionist refugees and the recently freed people. However\, competing viewpoints from white Republicans\, Democrats\, and black and white Southerners created much disappointment for the recently freed people\, who pretty rapidly took up most of the Bureau’s time and effort. \nDespite racialized violence\, the Bureau was able to provide some assistance to the freed people and help lay the groundwork for their futures in the aftermath of generations of enslavement and their own resistance to slavery. \nEmmanuel Dabney is the curator at Petersburg National Battlefield in Petersburg\, Virginia.

SUMMARY:Clara Jones: A Forgotten Civil War Nurse
DESCRIPTION:Discover the story of Clara Jones\, a full-time teacher whose remarkable wartime experiences included assisting the wounded aboard a hospital ship\, and at hospitals in Alexandria\, Virginia\, and at Gettysburg\, Pennsylvania. \n \nHistorian John Lustrea will tell the story of forgotten Civil War nurse Clara Jones at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum on January 27 at 11 AM. \nSince entering the public record in 2003 when Clara Jones’ letters were donated to the museum\, very few have read them. They tell an incredible tale of sacrifice and compassion. Jones was an unmarried 28 year old single woman when the Civil War broke out. While she wanted desperately to rush to the front to comfort sick and wounded soldiers\, she needed the pay of her full-time teaching job to support herself. That did not stop her from traveling to the front on school breaks of any length. Come hear about her amazing efforts. \nJohn Lustrea is the blog editor and website manager at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. He received his MA in Public History from the University of South Carolina\, Columbia. John spent four summers working at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park as a seasonal ranger.

SUMMARY:A Civil Life in an Uncivil Time
DESCRIPTION:In October 1862\, Julia Wilbur traveled alone from Rochester\, New York\, with the well-intentioned\, but ill-formed idea to help African Americans escaping slavery by crossing into Union controlled areas. She ended up in Alexandria\, Virginia\, where she worked closely with Harriet Jacobs and against the male powers-that-be. \nJoin us at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office on Thursday\, December 14 at 6 PM as author Paula Tarnapol Whitacre discusses her research into the Civil War experiences of Julia Wilbur. \nA Civil Life in an Uncivil Time: Julia Wilbur’s Struggle for Purpose is the first biography about this unheralded\, but remarkable woman. Using Wilbur’s diaries and other primary sources\, Whitacre traces how Wilbur took this bold step and what she accomplished when she came south. After the war and until her death in 1895\, Wilbur lived in Washington\, following in the footsteps of Clara Barton (whom she knew) by working in the Patent Office and fighting for women’s rights. \nWhitacre is a writer and editor who has lived in Alexandria since the mid-1980s. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University\, she worked at The Washington Post and as a Foreign Service Officer earlier in her career. She is on the boards of Friends of Alexandria Archaeology and the Civil War Roundtable of Washington\, DC. \nThis is a pay-what-you-please event. \nPre-Register Now
