The Museum of the Confederacy and the Library of Virginia present the
2012 Symposium, "Person of the Year: 1862" on February 25, 2012. This
year's event will pick up where the very successful 2011 edition left
off. A panel of distinguished Civil War scholars including David Blight,
Robert K. Krick, James McPherson, Jack Mountcastle, and Emory Thomas
will nominate candidates for "Person of the Year: 1862" in their
lectures and the audience will get to vote on the winner at the all-day
Symposium. Last year, the audience selected William C. Davis' nominee
Abraham Lincoln in a razor-thin vote over James I. Robertson's nominee,
the Virginia volunteer soldier. The nominees are kept secret until the
lectures are given, so come out and see who makes the cut, then vote for
your favorite and pick the Person of the Year for 1862!
The symposium is co-sponsored with and hosted by the Library of
Virginia.
