During the night\, Jackson was wounded by friendly fire when he rode between the lines on a reconnaissance mission. But contrary to popular belief\, eyewitness accounts disagree on key facts regarding the incident\, including the road Jackson was on when shot and the details of his removal from the field. \n\n\n\nDr. Mathew Lively will discuss several of the controversies surrounding the wounding and death of Stonewall Jackson\, providing a historical and medical prospective on one of the most notable events of Civil War history. \n\n\n\nBefore 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.

A Conversation with Matt Callery of Addressing Gettysburg DESCRIPTION:History Is Not Boring! \n\n\n\nAddressing Gettysburg brings the historic reality of the Battle of Gettysburg and the experiences of the soldiers and civilians to the masses in a comprehensive\, immersive\, and entertaining way. With over one million downloads and a Today Show showcase to their credit\, Addressing Gettysburg offers a fresh\, engaging\, and exciting approach to a defining moment in American history. \n\n\n\nIn this lively conversation\, AG Founder and Host Matt Callery seeks to ask participants – and perhaps answer himself – Why Gettysburg? What is it about the town\, the battlefield\, the people\, and the history\, that continues to attract thousands of visitors and scores of new books each year? \n\n\n\nBio: Growing up in New Jersey\, Matt’s fascination with history began at a very young age. Family trips to historic sites often included Civil War locations\, with Gettysburg being a favorite. Over the years\, Matt developed considerable skills in video and audio production. A fan of Howard Stern\, Matt’s early efforts were to create material for his own podcast centered on pop culture topics. Having visited Gettysburg in his childhood\, he later moved there\, and went to work leading battlefield bicycle tours. Sometime later\, he returned to New Jersey but it didn’t take long for him to feel something drawing him back to Pennsylvania. So\, he came back to make Gettysburg his home. \n\n\n\nA lifelong friend and fellow “history nerd” encouraged Matt to combine his love of history with his talents in studio production to create a podcast about Gettysburg. And so in 2019\, with raw enthusiasm\, a knack for making interesting conversation\, and a makeshift studio\, Matt launched the Addressing Gettysburg podcast. He’ll be the first to tell you that it has been a team effort and that he’s grateful for the support of many wonderful people along the way. \n\n\n\n2nd Saturday Lectures made possible by the Massey Charitable Trust URL:https://carnegiecarnegie.org/event/2nd-saturday-civil-war-series-why-gettysburg-a-conversation-with-matt-callery-of-addressing-gettysburg/ LOCATION:Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall\, 300 Beechwood Avenue\, Carnegie\, Pennsylvania\, 15106\, United States CATEGORIES:2022,Past Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegiecarnegie.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/MetaSlider-Web-Event.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220312T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220312T140000 DTSTAMP:20260510T092353 CREATED:20220216T233906Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220315T005508Z UID:10000482-1647090000-1647093600@carnegiecarnegie.org SUMMARY:2nd Saturday Civil War Series: In the Footsteps of the 69th New York State Militia at First Bull Run DESCRIPTION:In Person in the Lincoln Gallery at ACFL&MH \n\n\n\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/CarnegieCarnegie No Account Required! \n\n\n\nZoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/9370579279 Meeting ID: 937 057 9279 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe predominantly Irish 69th New York State Militia\, still in existence today\, has a storied\, and somewhat misunderstood\, history. An antebellum organization of some notoriety\, it expanded its ranks and offered its services to the United States in the early days of the rebellion\, and marched off to Washington. A primarily political organization\, it was led by Irish nationalist and Fenian Colonel Michael Corcoran\, and its ranks also included the future leader of the famous Irish Brigade\, Thomas Francis Meagher. \n\n\n\nOn July 21st\, 1861\, the 69th NYSM\, as part of William T. Sherman’s brigade\, took part in it’s only action of the Civil War at the First Battle of Bull Run. Join us as we briefly discuss the history of this regiment (which is probably not what you think it is) and follow in their footsteps on the Plains of Manassas. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarry Smeltzer is the host of Bull Runnings (bullrunnings.wordpress.com)\, a website dedicated to the digitization of primary resources and original content related to the First Battle of Bull Run.  He lives just outside Pittsburgh\, and was born and raised here in Southwestern PA.  He has earned degrees at The Pennsylvania State University and the Katz School of the University of Pittsburgh.  He’s also been published in print media including in the journal Civil War History\, The Civil War Monitor\, Civil War Times\, and America’s Civil War.  He was a Contributing Writer for America’s Civil War and is a Digital History Advisor for The Civil War Monitor. He sits on the board of directors of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation.  He has presented programs on Bull Run related topics to organizations in seven states and the District of Columbia\, and has organized and led tours of the battlefield of First Bull Run. Groups with which he’s worked include Civil War roundtables\, libraries\, historical societies\, universities\, battlefield preservation organizations\, and the United States Marine Corps. He’s been hosting Bull Runnings since November 2006. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2nd Saturday Lectures made possible by the Massey Charitable Trust URL:https://carnegiecarnegie.org/event/2nd-saturday-civil-war-series-in-the-footsteps-of-the-69th-new-york-state-militia-at-first-bull-run/ LOCATION:Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall\, 300 Beechwood Avenue\, Carnegie\, Pennsylvania\, 15106\, United States CATEGORIES:2022,Past Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://carnegiecarnegie.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/MetaSlider-Web-Event.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
