Dear List Members,

 

Please join us at the Library of Virginia on Thursday, September 15, at
noon to learn about "Virginia Divided: The Forgotten First Campaign."
Hunter Lesser, a native West Virginian and a consulting archaeologist
and historical interpreter, will discuss how the mountains of Western
Virginia were a proving ground for soldiers and statesmen in 1861. Here
Generals George McClellan and Robert E. Lee squared off in the opening
campaign of America's Civil War. While armies battled, Virginia
Unionists defied the Confederates in Richmond by forging a new state
government in Wheeling. Soldiers, civilians, and politicians come to
life in this overlooked but compelling chapter of Virginia history.

 

The Library of Virginia is located at 800 East Broad Street in historic
downtown Richmond. There is limited, free parking for this free lecture
in the Library's underground parking deck, which is accessible from
either Eighth or Ninth streets.
