Armistead and Hancock:Behind the Gettysburg LegendWith Tom McMillanSaturday, November13, 2021 1:00 PM IN PERSON & ONLINE

Facebook: www.facebook.com/CarnegieCarnegie No Account Required!Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9370579279 Meeting ID: 937 057 9279 In a war of brother versus brother, theirs has become the most famous broken friendship: Union general Winfield Scott Hancock and Confederate general Lewis Armistead. Michael Shaara’s The Killer Angels (1974) and the movie Gettysburg (1993), based on the novel, presented a close friendship sundered by war, but history reveals something different from the legend.In his deeply researched book, Tom McMillan sets the record straight. Even if their friendship wasn’t as close as the legend has it, Hancock and Armistead knew each other well before the Civil War. After emotionally parting ways when the Civil War broke out, their lives wouldn’t intersect again until Gettysburg, when they faced each other during Pickett’s Charge.Part dual biography and part Civil War history, Armistead and Hancock: Behind the Gettysburg Legend clarifies the historic record with new information and fresh perspective, reversing decades of misconceptions about an amazing story of two friends that had defined the Civil War.Tom McMillan, a lifelong student of the Civil War, has served on the board of trustees of Pittsburgh’s Heinz History Center, the board of directors of the Friends of Flight 93 National Memorial, and the marketing committee of the Gettysburg Foundation. His other books are Flight 93: The Story, The Aftermath and The Legacy of American Courage on 9/11 (2014) and Gettysburg Rebels: Five Native Sons Who Came Home to Fight as Confederate Soldiers (2017), which won the Bachelder-Coddington Literary Award. He retired earlier this year after a forty-three-year career in sports media and communications.

Listen Locally Downstairs with Tom Breiding: Storytelling through Song

TICKETS

Tom Breiding, local Americana, folk-rock artist, and celebrated writer, chronicles small-town America through original music. His songs tell the stories that history has all but forgotten – stories that sink so deep into a person’s psyche that they have to be told again. A singer in the traditions of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seger, and Pittsburgh’s own Anne Feeney, Tom’s music is especially relevant in today’s tumultuous times.

Tom’s work has taken him all over the U.S. and through every back road and coal town of his home state, West Virginia. He is also a regular performer at the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival in Woody’s hometown of Okemah, OK. The Carnegie Carnegie is thrilled to welcome him to the Studio for the next installment of our Listen Locally Downstairs series.

The Lincoln Autopsy with Dr. Matthew Lively

Within hours after his death, Abraham Lincoln’s body was taken to the White House, where a limited autopsy was performed. The President’s brain was removed in order to obtain the fatal bullet and determine the track of the ball. However, the physicians who were present contradict each other in documenting the bullet’s final location in the brain.

This lecture will describe the autopsy and examine the differing medical recordings of the event.

Before entering private practice three years ago, Dr. Mathew Lively spent twenty years as a faculty physician at the West Virginia University School of Medicine where he conducted patient care, teaching, and research. He is the author of several articles on medical history topics and his first book, Calamity at Chancellorsville: The Wounding and Death of Confederate General Stonewall Jackson, was published by Savas Beatie in 2013.

Journey down the dark backroads of the Civil War with historical novelist Ruth Webster. Enter the political world of the 1864 presidential election. Meet the Copperheads, the Knights of the Golden Circle, Clement Vallandigham, and the War and Peace Democrats—groups which are often merely glanced over in theaverage study of the war. The reality of Southern sentiment alive in Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, the tri-state area called home by the author, is startling and endlessly fascinating. It was a rich repository of plot lines for fiction, giving new meaning to the phrase “truth is stranger than fiction.”

Follow three Ohio brothers, ancestral cousins of the author, as they navigate their call to duty and their legacy. All three were Ohio Democrats who chose to fight in their Republican President’s war.

Ruth Webster was born and raised in Covington, Kentucky, a town on the Ohio. The ever flowing river sparked her lifelong interest in the history and development of early America. She is a retired National Board-Certified Teacher, specializing in social studies and language arts.

Ruth is proud to honor ancestors who served on both sides of the Civil War. She is a member of the Daughters of Union Veterans, as well as the Morgan’s Men Association, which recognizes those who served in Confederate General John Hunt Morgan’s command.

Ruth has been published in various print media over many decades, and currently has four Civil War novels in print. She has been a newspaper columnist, freelanced for regional and national publications, and won various literary awards. The most recent was the 2021 award for Best Historical Fiction for “The Ramsey Legacy,” presented by The Author Zone for Indie and Small Press Publishing.

Ruth is delighted to be speaking for a second time at the Carnegie Carnegie. A docent and transcriber at the Capt. Thomas Espy Post, Ruth considers it a sacred place and her second home.
