As Americans struggled through the Civil War’s fourth autumn, eligible voters in loyal states cast their ballots in the presidential election of 1864. The campaign pitted incumbent Abraham Lincoln against his former general-in-chief, George McClellan, and its results framed the ultimate effects of the conflict itself. Soldiers and citizens collectively determined whether the nation would quell a rebellion, or open peace negotiations; expand the rights of freed people, or deemphasize personal liberties; and end slavery, or keep the institution intact. More than any wartime event not decided upon a battlefield, the course and consequences of this election are among the most significant in U.S. history.
Codie Eash serves as Visitor Services Coordinator at Seminary Ridge Museum, Gettysburg, and is a 2014 graduate of Shippensburg University, where he earned a bachelor degree in communication/ journalism and held a minor in history. He contributes to the blog Pennsylvania in the Civil War; serves as a co-host on Battles and Banter, a military history podcast; and maintains the Facebook page “Codie Eash – Writer and Historian,” which primarily focuses on the heritage and legacy of the Civil War era.

When most people think of Dwight D. Eisenhower, they think of two milestones in his life;
his leadership in the D-Day landings and his election to the presidency of the United States.
Most people don’t realize that Eisenhower had a love for the Civil War, and specifically
Gettysburg. The 1863 battlefield helped to set his carrier on the path to higher command.
Join American Battlefield Trust Senior Education Manager Kristopher White as he outlines the
life and career of General Dwight D. Eisenhower, and how a visit as a West Point cadet in 1915
led to a life long love of the town and battlefield of Gettysburg.

Do you remember Sophie Masloff? Do you miss her? Even if you never knew her, you might enjoy getting to know about the incomparable Mayor Masloff with author, Dr. Barbara Burstin. Sophie Masloff became the first woman and the first Jewish mayor of Pittsburgh in 1988, upon the untimely death of the popular Mayor, Dick Caliguiri. Often dismissed and belittled, the feisty senior citizen showed her toughness when she won a four-year term as mayor in her own right. It wasn’t easy, but she kept Pittsburgh moving forward during difficult economic times.
Please join us as Dr. Barbara Burstin discusses her 2019 biography which takes a look at the life of Sophie Masloff – her triumphs and her tribulations.
Join us on Zoom or Facebook Live.

About the Author
As a faculty member of both the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon University, Dr. Barbara Burstin has taught a number of courses on America and the Holocaust, the American Jewish community, and Pittsburgh history. She has authored three other books on the history of the Pittsburgh Jewish Community, all available on her website, and produced the documentary “A Jewish Legacy: Pittsburgh” now on DVD. Her most recent book, Sophie – The Incomparable Mayor Masloff, is based on news reports, archival material and nearly seventy interviews with members of her administration collected over several years of research.

On August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th and final state necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment. After a long fought battle, the United States Constitution prohibited states and the federal government from denying citizens the right to vote because of sex. However, the journey to women’s suffrage did not end in 1920. Nor has it ended in 2020. Acknowledging that not all women have had the same experience, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall has assembled an expert and eclectic panel to explore the continuing passage to full enfranchisement.
We invite you to join us for a virtual panel discussion with moderator Jessie Ramey and panelists, Jessica Benham, Dr. Dana Brown, Monica Ruiz-Caraballo, and Ciora Thomas as we explore the journey to women’s suffrage and where we have yet to go.

Washington D.C. was one of the most heavily fortified in the world during the American Civil War. By 1865, Washington was surrounded: 68 major forts supported by 93 detached batteries mounting over 900 guns and connected by 32 miles of military roads encircled the capital. Fortress Washington ensured the defense of the United States government. This lecture explains how.

A military history scholar of the Civil War era, Phan’s research focuses on military occupation, operational command, and fortifications during the Civil War. He is the author of articles about Asians and Pacific Islanders in the Civil War and the Defenses of Washington for numerous publications.

Grant’s Conscience: The unique comradeship between Ulysses S. Grant and his chief of staff John A. Rawlins

Although barely mentioned in the personal memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant, Union General John A. Rawlins, Grant’s chief of staff, was often considered his right-hand man, and by some, even, his conscience—the man who kept Grant sober during the Civil War. So why the snub in Grant’s two-volume recollections of the conflict in which they served side by side? Melissa Winn will discuss the life of John Rawlins, the pre-war origins of his close and unique friendship with Grant, and the many ways in which the lives and legacies of these two men were not only intertwined during the Civil War, but for each of their lifetimes, and, likely, eternity.

Melissa A. Winn is the Director of Photography at Historynet, including Civil War Times and America’s Civil War magazines. She is also a professional writer and regularly contributes written pieces to both publications. She’s worked as a journalist, photographer, and editor for over 25 years and has a bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Wisconsin, with an emphasis on nonfiction writing. In 2015, she was a finalist for the Jesse H. Neal Award for editorial excellence in profile writing. Winn also collects Civil War photographs, concentrating on images of Union General John A. Rawlins, promotional CDVs, Dead Letter Office images, and Wisconsin soldiers. Photographs from the personal collection of Ms. Winn.

VETERANS DAY CEREMONY
2020-11-07 00:00
Saturday, November 7, 1:00 PM
Libraries are civic organizations. As we developed Library Park, a flagpole opposite the Library entrance was an essential part of the design. Since November 2017, a Veterans Day ceremony has become a tradition at the Library & Music Hall.
This ceremony feels more necessary this year more than ever before. Due to COVID, there will be no Veterans Day parade. Set politics aside to honor those who sacrificed so much for the democracy we are privileged to live under. Please join us at 1:00 on November 7 outside the Library entrance, as we celebrate the military men and women who have served our country so well.
Senator Pam Iovino, who represents Pennsylvania’s 37th Senatorial District, will serve as the M.C. for this year’s ceremony. We are thrilled! There have myriad distractions, but 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage in our country. Sen. Iovino’s participation is part of the ACFL&MH marking a milestone that resonates deeply with me on both professional and personal levels
Senator Iovino served in the Navy for 23 years, rising to the rank of Captain. She retired from the Navy to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. In that capacity, she acted as the Department’s lead advocate on Capitol Hill for the nation’s 25 million veterans and their families.
The Carnegie Carnegie relies on Joe Iacono, past President of Carnegie’s Post 82 of the American Legion to organize its Veterans Day program. Joe and his fellow veterans bring appropriate military protocols, lending great dignity to a short, but very meaningful ceremony. Members of the 9th Pennsylvania Reserves will fire a rifle salute. The Rev. George Snyder will offer an invocation for the ceremony, and Fr. Bob Popichak will offer the closing benediction.
All are welcome. Please wear your masks and join us to honor the service and sacrifice of our military. The ceremony will take place rain or shine.

Mothers, Marms & Madams: Women’s Roles in the Civil War

Rather than standing idle on the sidelines, women of all ages, races, classes, and religions played an important role in the outcome of the American Civil War. The shots at Ft. Sumter triggered the beginning of a period that reshaped women’s lives—some for just a few years, others—permanently. The war suddenly plunged women into socially acceptable frenzied public service.
Only two weeks after the war began, northern and southern women formed some twenty thousand aid societies to supply the armies clothing, food, medical supplies and money. Early Union appeals called for women to play their part in the war effort and to look to the example of their Revolutionary foremothers.
This presentation explores the various roles women played on the battlefield and the home front. As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote, this lecture defines where the seeds of suffrage were planted.
Diane Klinefelter is the former Library Director for the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall and currently serves as the Curator for the Captain Thomas Espy GAR Post. She is a historian, lecturer and author, having written two books on the Civil War.

Ruth Webster brings the War in Kentucky to life in a series of historical novels. Research into her family’s past led to envisioning the events of her ruptured native state through the wartime experiences of the men and women who lived it.
Cousins at War follows four young men (brothers and first cousins) through the turbulent years of 1861-65. They are forced to choose sides in a divided State which is raging around them. Family ties will rupture, loyalties be thrown into question. And only two will live to grow old.
They served in the 6th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, the 10th Kentucky Cavalry USA, the 40th Kentucky Mounted Infantry USA, and the 8th Kentucky Cavalry CSA.
Jesse: 53rd Kentucky, is the story of nineteen-year-old Corporal Jesse J. Cook, who rides with Union General George Stoneman on the first of his raids into Virginia in 1864, meeting his fate at Saltville.
Ruth will share the facts behind the fiction—military records from the National Archives, regimental reports, historical newspaper accounts, genealogical research, non-fiction works, and first person accounts—and how she weaves it all into stories which educate as they entertain.
Ruth Ochs Webster was born and raised in Covington, Kentucky. The location sparked a lifelong interest in history and travel. She is a retired National Board-Certified Teacher having specialized in social studies and language arts. Her teaching career spanned 25 years. Ruth has been published in various print media over many decades. Recent awards include The Author Zone—First Place Historical Fiction, 2020—and the Kentucky Monthly Magazine’s 2020 Literary Award for Novel Opening.
