2nd Saturday Civil War Series: 1864 Middle Tennessee Campaign
2019-11-09 00:00
2nd Saturday Civil War Series: 1864 Middle Tennessee Campaign
Speaker: Richard Condon
Saturday, November 9, 2019, 1:00 – 2:30 PM
By Fall of 1864, the ragged Confederate Army of Tennessee, under the command of Maj. Gen. John Bell Hood, had set forth on a desperate campaign from Georgia through Tennessee. Although Hood’s operation in late 1864 climaxed at the battle of Nashville on December 15-16, the fate of his army was sealed two weeks earlier at Franklin, where 10,000 total casualties were inflicted in a span of five hours. It was only a matter of time after the Confederate defeat in Middle Tennessee that the army would gradually dissipate. Between November and December 1864, the fighting in Middle Tennessee foreshadowed the result of the war, and for the Federal army, set a stage where the West was won.
Rich Condon is a public historian based out of Pittsburgh, although he began his career as a battlefield guide in Franklin, Tennessee. For nine years he has worked with a multitude of sites and organizations, including The Battle of Franklin Trust, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall and Museum, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, and Flight 93 National Memorial. Rich is a contributing writer for the Pennsylvania in the Civil War blog, and director of Civil War Pittsburgh – an organization focused on education and preservation regarding Western Pennsylvania’s role in the American Civil War.
Plan on coming early and join us and American Legion Post 82 at 12:30 pm for a Veterans Day flag-raising ceremony.
Registration not required. Free and open to the public

Listen Locally with Roger Humphries and RH Factor Art Blakey Tribute

Listen Locally Roger Humphries and RH Factor
Art Blakey Tribute
Friday, December 27, 8:00pm
TICKETS
Join us this holiday season for a spectacular evening in celebration of two Pittsburgh Jazz legends in Roger Humphries and RH Factor’s Tribute to Art Blakey with special guest, Brazilian vocalist, Kenia.
Art Blakey, born in Pittsburgh in 1919, was profoundly influential on mainstream jazz. Legend has it that Blakey started his music career as a teenager on piano and was switched to drums – at gunpoint by a club owner – to clear the piano for a young Erroll Garner. Regardless of how he found his way to the drum set, Blakey went on to become a prominent name in jazz with his band, the Jazz Messengers.
Roger Humphries is a household name in Pittsburgh. He is rated by music critics as one of the most exciting percussionists in the business today. He credits Blakey with “teaching (him) how to swing.” Like Blakey, Roger Humphries began playing professionally as a teenager. A loving husband, father and doting grandfather to a large extended family, he resides in Pittsburgh with his wife. Roger Humphries is truly a living legend, and an example of how jazz is life: pure, authentic and powerful.
Get a head start to the New Year’s Eve celebration with a fabulous and affordable night at Carnegie Carnegie Hall. Come out for an evening of cool sophistication, without all the fuss, hassle and expense of too many New Year’s Eve outings.
Tickets are $25 in advance; $30 at the door

About the artist:
Humphries has provided the rhythmic beat for such greats as Ray Charles, Horace Silver, Richard “Groove” Holmes, Stanley Turrentine, James Moody, Lee Morgan, Dr. Billy Taylor, Benny Green, Lionel Hampton, Coleman Hawkins, Clark Terry, J.J. Johnson, Dizzy Gillespie, George Benson, Jon Faddis, Slide Hampton, Randy Brecker, Joe Williams, Milton Jackson, Jimmy Smith, Jimmy Witherspoon, Nathan Davis, Pete Henderson, Don Patterson, Gene Harris, Grant Green, George Harris, Freddie Hubbard, Bill Dogget, Jack McDuff, and a list of great musicians that goes on and on and on.

He has performed professionally with the Glenn Miller Orchestra (2007 tour). He has also shared the stage with jazz artists such as Lew Soloff and Paquito D’Rivera. Aside from his jazz explorations, Simpson has written numerous works for the concert stage, including works both large and small. In 2011, he conducted his own composition Journey Into Wissameking with the Janaček Philharmonic, in Ostrava, Czech Republic at “Ostrava Days.” Other works have been performed in festivals in Italy, Croatia, France, Greece, and the United States
His recent composition, On The Road Suite, written for narration and chamber orchestra to the text of Jack Kerouac’s famous novel of the same name, was awarded Honorable Mention for the 2017 American Prize in Orchestral Composition. The piece juxtaposes boogie-woogie and bebop idioms with Stravinsky-esque marches and miniatures. American Prize panel said about the work, “The music keeps unfolding, like a magic carpet: its function is always to support the narrated text.”
Simpson has also made forays in the film industry by scoring music for Pittsburgh directors including Tom Kurlander and Pittsburgh Filmmakers John Cantine. He is currently working with filmmaker Bruce Spiegel in scoring a new documentary about the steel industry in Pittsburgh. He recently won acclaim for his scoring work in Thessaloniki, Greece at the Fusion Film Scoring Workshop.

Death and Historical Memory
Speaker: John Heckman: The Tattooed Historian
Saturday, February 8, 2020 || 1:00PM – 2:00PM
How did death on the battlefield affect those involved in the conflict? How did it shape their memory of the war? In an era when we are revisiting our bloodiest struggle, it is well that we look at how the men saw their experiences on the battlefield and the costs incurred upon their comrades.
From the fields of fire to the GAR halls, how did veterans of the war from the Pittsburgh area and other parts of the Commonwealth shape how we see the past?

John Heckman is from Chambersburg, Pa. and earned his graduate degree in history from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. After working alongside the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as an archivist and historian, John began a history focused, digital media company called The Tattooed Historian. This brand has reached thousands of history fanatics from all across the globe, a majority of whom are between the ages of 18 and 40, thus assisting with bringing new voices into the history field in various ways.
Currently, John works alongside other groups, such as the National Park Service, to promote the historical narrative in new ways. He also has a podcast entitled “The Tattooed Historian Show.”
Registration not required. Free and open to the public. Light refreshments served.

About the show…
Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular operetta follows the story of the Mikado’s son, Nanki-Poo who has fled in disguise to find and marry his beloved, Yum-Yum, who is betrothed against her will to the lord high executioner, Ko-Ko. The Mikado pressures Ko-Ko to fulfill his quota of killings but the soft-hearted executioner finds his job too difficult. To save his job, Ko-Ko allows Nanki-Poo one month of marriage to Yum-Yum in exchange for participating in a staged execution. But of course, Ko-Ko’s plan backfires and he finds himself subject to capital punishment for allegedly killing the Mikado’s son. The tangled web of plot lines eventually unravels in Gilbert’s usual topsy-turvy manner.

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.
Registration not required. Free and open to the public.

A virtual book talk with author, Barbara Burstin

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.

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.

The Woman’s Hour: 100 Years & Counting…
A discussion on the journey to women’s suffrage and where we have yet to go.

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.
Join us on Zoom or Facebook Live.
This program is made possible with support from our Women’s Hour sponsors with special thanks to Amanda Neatrour.
