SUMMARY:Box Lunch Talk: Battle of Westminster Corbit's Charge Revisited Presented by Steven Carney
DESCRIPTION:On June 29th\, 1863\, the tragedy of war unfolded upon the streets of Westminster\, MD. This ferocious battle\, although brief\, caused major implications upon the Battle of Gettysburg and the Civil War as a whole. This talk\, given by historian Steven W. Carney\, will discuss the events leading up to “Corbit’s Charge\,” the battle itself\, the aftermath\, and the impact the battle had upon the Civil War. Steven will also discuss highlights of the role Carroll County played within the Gettysburg Campaign and the Civil War. \nSteven Carney is a historian with over 20 years’ experience. He specializes on the American Civil War era and has worked with many organizations to provide educational programming on a variety of topics. His work is featured in the Living History Gazette\, USA Today\, and in film productions for the Travel Chanel\, American Heroes Channel\, and the Legends and Lies television series. Since 2011\, he has been a member and officer with the Pipe Creek Civil War Round Table and was chairman of the annual Corbit’s Charge commemoration event for ten years. Steven has served on the board of several organizations where he planned large-scale events and fundraising efforts for historical preservation. Steven earned a B.A. in Political Science and Sociology and an M.S. in Public Administration from McDaniel College and a certificate in Terrorism Analysis from the University of Maryland. \nAs always\, there is no registration for Box Lunch Talks.

SUMMARY:Curious Iguana Presents: Author David O. Stewart
DESCRIPTION:In light of America’s 250th birthday this year\, Curious Iguana is eager to welcome historian and author David O. Stewart to Frederick on Tuesday\, June 16 from 6:00-7:00 pm. David will discuss his latest book\, “The Democracy We Must Keep” with Holly Smith\, editor-in-chief of the Washington Independent Review of Books. Following their discussion\, David will answer questions and sign books. Copies of “The Democracy We Must Keep” will be available for purchase at the event. \nLocation: C. Burr Artz Public Library\, 110 E. Patrick Street\, Frederick\, MD 21701 This event is free and open to the public\, hosted in partnership with Frederick County Public Library. For accessibility requests\, email events@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. \nAbout the book: “A great scholar of the American past\, David O. Stewart has brilliantly mined what has come before to guide us in our own\, all-too-urgent American present. An important and timely volume.” ~ Jon Meacham\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The American Struggle.” \nWhat did America’s founders say about democracy—and can we remain true to their vision for America? \nTwo hundred fifty years ago\, passionate men attempted to create something the world had never seen before: a nation built not on kings or armies\, but on ideas where the people ruled. \nIn “The Democracy We Must Keep\,” historian David O. Stewart takes readers inside the nine key documents that shaped the formation of the United States—from Patrick Henry’s thunderous cry for liberty to the carefully crafted design of a government chosen by the people\, with limits on all officials holding power under the Constitution. \nThrough the words of seven visionary founders—Washington\, Jefferson\, Madison\, Hamilton\, Gouverneur Morris\, and others—Stewart shows how a fragile experiment in self-government took shape. \nThese men were not saints. They argued passionately. They worried that the new nation might fall apart. Yet together\, they forged the principles that must still define American democracy. \n\nThat power must be limited.\nThat leaders must answer to the people.\nThat individual rights must be protected by law.\n\nAs the United States celebrates its 250th anniversary\, The Democracy We Must Keep urges readers to rediscover core ideas that built the nation—and to consider what it will take to protect them. \nAbout the author: A trial and appellate lawyer for many years\, David O. Stewart now writes history and historical novels. His five narrative histories have won seven awards from literary organizations\, and his five historical novels include best-sellers. In 2023\, he received the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Washington Independent Review of Books\, of which he is the founding president. \nAbout the moderator: Holly Smith is editor-in-chief of the Washington Independent Review of Books\, as well as a college lecturer\, longtime freelance writer\, and proud “Jeopardy!” bronze medalist. Prior to joining the Independent\, she was managing editor of Maryland Life magazine. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post\, CNBC.com \, Salon\, and elsewhere. She also co-authored the travel guide Seafood Lover’s Chesapeake Bay\, which is ironic since she doesn’t eat fish. Find her on Bluesky at @‌HSmithWrites.
