Libraries are civic organizations. When we developed Library Park, a flagpole opposite the Library entrance became an essential part of the design. Since November 2017, a Veterans Day ceremony has become a tradition at the Library & Music Hall.

Please join members of Carnegie American Legion Post 82, 9th Pennsylvania Reserves, elected officials, friends and colleagues at 1:30 pm on Veterans Day, Thursday, November 11. Let’s set politics aside to honor and celebrate the men and women who sacrificed so much for the democracy we are privileged to call home.

The ceremony takes place rain or shine.

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

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.
