The Museum of the Confederacy and the Library of Virginia co-sponsor
"Generals Behaving Badly" 2009 Symposium
February 21, 2009
9:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m.
The Library of Virginia
800 E. Broad Street
Richmond, Virginia 23219
This all day event will explore a topic that lies at the intersection of
interesting people and historically significant events. It will offer vignettes and
appraisals of both Confederate and Federal "Generals Behaving Badly." The
lectures will probe the life stories of the fascinating characters and assess
how their cantankerous, eccentric, or insubordinate behavior affected their
performance as military commanders. Speakers include Hunter Lesser, author
of Rebels at the Gate: Lee and McClellan on the Front Line of a Nation Divided,
John V. Quarstein, historian for the city of Hampton and author of several
books about the war on the Virginia Peninsula, Robert K. Krick, former chief
historian at the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park and
author of numerous books, and Edwin C. Bearss, chief historian emeritus of the
National Park Service and legendary battlefield guide.
The cost is $35 for members of the museum and donors to the library or $50
for non-members. A box lunch is included in the fee. Registration is required
and space is limited.
