Fighting for perspective: the 150th anniversary of the Civil War
Gerald Henig
- March 15, 2011 5:10am
Gerald Henig, Cal State East Bay professor emeritus of history, will discuss how the Civil War left a legacy of change unsurpassed in American history.
As the nation commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, Henig will investigate the profound changes the war wrought, from new ways of raising, administering, and financing armies to an array of novelties in intelligence gathering, providing health and medical care, and even in how the dead were honored. It was a different nation that emerged when the guns fell silent.
Event is provided as part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) program and will take place at the Mastick Senior Center on Mar 21 at 2:00pm. Visit the OLLI Web site to register for the lecture.
