SUMMARY:HumanitiesDC Culture Series: Sex Work in Civil War Washington and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC saw an unprecedented rise in sex work during the Civil War due to the thousands of Union soldiers who flooded into the city for training. Brothels provided income\, shelter\, and independence for women who\, in some cases\, had few other places to turn. They built businesses and turned access to politicians into influence. \nThe DC neighborhood known as Federal Triangle used to be in DC’s early days\, a notorious slum known as Murder Bay and later as Hooker’s Division during the Civil War. The latter name evolved from the usage of that neighborhood as one of the city’s most concentrated red-light districts. The sex work industry exploded during the war due to the heavy presence of soldiers throughout wartime. \nBut why do we demonize sex workers? Why do we continue to stigmatize sex work? \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curator Katie Kirkpatrick in this Culture Series\, which will explore Murder Bay/Hooker’s Division during and after the Civil War. The event will bring together visual representations\, experts on Civil War Washington\, sex-work historians\, and members of today’s sex-work community to discuss how the oldest profession was practiced when it was legal\, compared to today’s ongoing struggle to recognize sex work as real work. \nThe event will begin with a walking tour at 6PM starting at The Willard Center\, 1455 Pennsylvania Avenue NW\, Washington\, DC 20004. Please dress comfortably. \n​The walking tour will be followed by a panel discussion at 7PM at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum\, 437 7th St NW\, Washington\, DC 20004. Panelists include Dr. Cindy Gueli\, Mark Herlong & Lazima Mills. Conversation moderated by Katie Kirkpatrick. \nASL Interpretation will be provided. \nRegistration is available at the eventbrite link below and will be available on-site at The Willard and at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. Advance registration is not required. Entry is based on a first-come\, first-serve basis.  \nFor reasonable accommodation requests regarding access and inclusion\, please contact Jimmy Watkins (jwatkins@humanitiesdc.org) no later than five business days before the start of this event.

SUMMARY:Postponed - Tents and Tenements: The Civil War's Impact on Urban Health
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed due to restrictions on official travel from Virginia Tech. \nFederal camp Courtesy of the Library of Congress \n  \nThis event has been postponed due to restrictions on official travel from Virginia Tech. \nOn Thursday March 19\, 2020 at 6:00 PM join historian Dr. Melanie A. Kiechle at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum as she discusses the way Civil War camps influenced urban and public health in the decades after the Civil War. \nWhy did soldiers compare their tents to tenements? Why did physicians compare camps to major cities? In this talk\, Dr. Kiechle will explore the connections between wartime experiences and the public health movement in nineteenth-century cities. Because miasma theory made Americans worry that bad smells caused illness\, smelly spaces were health threats. Concentrated odors were a frequent concern in antebellum cities\, but the disruption of war exposed rural Americans to powerful stenches and too physicians. Few would forget these encounters\, or the visceral lessons about fresh air and good health. \nThe pay-what-you-please presentation begins at 6:00 PM at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum. \nMelanie Kiechle is a historian of the nineteenth-century United States. Her interests include culture\, environments\, cities\, health\, science\, and smells. Her book\, Smell Detectives: An Olfactory History of Nineteenth-Century Urban America\, uncovers how city residents used their noses to understand\, adjust to\, and fight against the environmental changes created by rapid urban growth and industrialization. She is an associate professor of history at Virginia Tech\, where she teaches courses on United States history\, environmental history\, and the history of science and medicine.

SUMMARY:The Battle of Dranesville
DESCRIPTION:Hear about the first combat many Civil War soldiers experienced at the little known Battle of Dranesville in Fairfax County\, Virginia. \nThe Battle of Dranesville Courtesy of Wiki Commons \nOn Saturday December 14 at 4:00 PM at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum learn about one of the first early forgotten battles of the Civil War fought  just a few miles from Clara Barton’s residence in Washington DC. \nThe Battle of Dranesville\, fought on Dec. 20\, 1861 does not have the name recognition of Gettysburg\, or Antietam. It involved about 2\,500 Confederate soldiers led by J.E.B. Stuart\, fighting a numerically superior Federal force commanded by Brig. Gen. Edward Ord. The two-hour battle that occurred in northern Virginia was the end result of a hectic fall and winter of 1861. As both sides scrambled to recover from the battles of First Manassas (Bull Run) and Ball’s Bluff\, they sought food in the No Man’s Land of Fairfax County\, Virginia. The opposing forces routinely sent out foraging parties\, and it was only a matter of time before they would run into each other. The Battle of Dranesville followed and proved to be many soldiers’ first experience of fighting. Historian Ryan Quint recounts the actions that led to this little-known battle. \nThe presentations begins at 4:00 PM on Saturday December 14 at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office. It will be a pay-what-you-please presentation. \nRyan Quint graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Mary Washington in 2015. From 2015-2018 he was a Park Guide for the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park. He writes for the Emerging Civil War\, and his first book\, Determined to Stand and Fight: The Battle of Monocacy\, July 9\, 1864 was published by Savas Beatie in 2017. He is now working on the first book-length treatment of the Battle of Dranesville and works for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
