The Library of Virginia
800 E. Broad Street

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.
