SUMMARY:The First Cut: A Railroad Accident\, an Amputation\, and a Firestorm in Congress
DESCRIPTION:Saturday Speaker Series! Popular history tells us that young Confederate James Hanger endured the first amputation of the Civil War in June 1861. But Historian Jon-Erik Gilot will explain that history discounts the tragic story of William Parker\, a conductor on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad who lost both legs several days prior to Hanger\, and who struggled for decades for recognition and compensation. \nJon-Erik Gilot is the Curator at the Captain Thomas Espy Grand Army of the Republic Post\, Carnegie\, Pa.\, and a contributing historian at Emerging Civil War. He works as a corporate archivist in Wheeling\, West Virginia. \nThis presentation is free with museum admission.

SUMMARY:Reimagining War’s Reality: A Consideration of Photographs of Antietam’s Dead
DESCRIPTION:Saturday Speaker Series: Dr. James Broomall \nHistorian and Professor Jim Broomall will take a new look at the famous images of dead soldiers on the Antietam battlefield. The standard tale is that Americans were shocked by these photographs and their stark depiction of war. But Dr. Broomall will look at other types of contemporary depictions such as lithographs\, to reconsider this assessment. \nDid the photographs of the Antietam dead truly “bring home” the “reality and earnestness of war”? The now-famous “New York Times” review\, “Pictures of the Dead at Antietam\,” is oft quoted and has become a lasting symbol of how Civil War-era Americans reacted to images of wartime dead. Professor Broomall will call this orthodoxy into question and challenge the audience to more fully consider the Antietam photographs’ varied meanings through a broader discussion of lithographs\, postmortem images\, and contemporary source materials. By so doing\, we will together reimagine the reality of war. \nThe presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine.
