SUMMARY:One Vast Hospital - Downtown Frederick Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Explore the incredible Civil War history in Downtown Frederick with expert guides from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. \nEvery Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and Sunday at 12:00 p.m. from April until September\, docents from the National Museum of Civil War Medicine will explain how Frederick became “One Vast Hospital.” Arguably the most trying moment in city’s history came after the Battle of Antietam in the fall of 1862. The town’s population doubled when 8\,000 wounded soldiers were delivered by ambulance to make-shift hospitals throughout Frederick. Walking tours last for an hour to an hour and a half. \nTickets are $15 and include admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in addition to the walking tour. Tickets are free for Museum members\, but you must still reserve your spot. Reservations will be accepted on a first come first served basis. \nContact Chris Reed at chris.reed@civilwarmed.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Gettysburg Surgeons: Facing a Common Enemy
DESCRIPTION:Join the National Museum of Civil War Medicine for a special First Saturday Speaker Event with Barbara Franco. She will share her findings from a 10-year project to identify the surgeons who cared for the wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg. A database of more than 1\,200 surgeons\, both Union and Confederate\, is the basis for her new book\, “Gettysburg Surgeons: Facing a Common Enemy in the Civil War’s Deadliest Battle.” The study includes not only well-documented and prominent physicians who left written accounts\, but also the lesser-known surgeons who were part of a complex system of doctors and caretakers both during and after the battle. \nBarbara Franco is Founding Executive Director Emerita of the Gettysburg Seminary Ridge Museum and Education Center and a new board member of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. As a public historian\, curator\, and museum director she has written and consulted about museum practice and historical interpretation. Her broad interest in the social\, cultural\, and intellectual history of the 19th century includes the decorative and fine arts\, communal societies\, fraternal organizations\, the role of religion\, and the Civil War era. She served as executive director of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission\, the Historical Society of Washington\, D.C.\, and Assistant Director for Museums at the Minnesota Historical Society.

SUMMARY:"Ancestors at Antietam" - Lt. Samuel McBride Pringle and Garden’s Battery
DESCRIPTION:Drawing on decades of research in original letters\, diaries\, and archival records\, this presentation tells the story of Lieutenant Samuel McBride Pringle\, set within the decisive stand of Captain Hugh R. Garden’s Palmetto Light Artillery during the Final Assault at Antietam. Under devastating Union fire across Antietam Creek\, Garden’s Battery held Cemetery Hill until A. P. Hill’s arrival turned the tide. Mortally wounded\, Pringle—great-great-uncle of the presenter—attempted to rise three times before being carried from the field\, calling to his men\, “They have killed me\, boys\, but stand by your guns!” Join us Saturday\, June 6\, as Institute member\, Susie Ingles shares the story of her ancestor during her talk called\, “They have killed me boys but stand by your guns!” Lt. Samuel McBride Pringle and Garden’s Battery in the Final Assault at Antietam”. \nSusie Ingles is a legal aid lawyer in Greenville\, South Carolina\, practicing consumer protection law. She obtained a B.A. in History from Clemson University and her law degree from the University of South Carolina. She has spent many years researching and eventually writing the story of her great\, great uncle\, Confederate 1st Lieutenant Samuel McBride Pringle\, the namesake of her father and brother\, who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Antietam. She has traced his life through his original letters preserved by her family from his college years at Furman University in Greenville\, through the 1st and 2nd Battles of Bull Run\, and finally Antietam\, where he was mortally wounded\, then on to Winchester\, Virginia\, where he ultimately died and was laid to rest. \nThese monthly “Ancestors at Antietam” talks are free and open to the public – anyone may attend – and you do not need to register. The talks will be held at the Institute’s Education Center at 101W Main Street\, Sharpsburg\, beginning at 2 pm.
