which was the front and she was incredibly brave and intrepid to all the wars around the caroly antietam which remains of course the single worst day in american history in terms of casualties. and then after the war one of the last acts that lincoln performed was to allow her to set up a missing persons bureau soshi so she found missing soldiers but she also identified the graves of tens of thousands of soldiers so they were given the respect of mr grave and not left unknown. then she goes to europe and discover something called the red cross and comes back here and establishes the american red cross. this is one of the many things that drives me crazy in history books. this kind of statement and then she established the american red cross. really? was it hard? did anything go before that? was there a story there and of course there was and she was able to get a red cross going in the united states but it didn't have the clout of being aligned with the international red cross word he really did the work because the senate first had to ratify the geneva convention in order to be part of

we know about gettysburg, atlanta burning, antietam. petersburg gets overlooked. it is unfortunate for a number of reasons. did really is the final point at are battlinggrant face to face. it is the story of the people of petersburg caught between two warring armies. as fact they were starving this nearly year-long siege goes on. story ofascinating what war does to people affected by it. the third chapter is the war in the philippines, the spanish-american war, and of secure war for most americans today. i was particularly drawn to the story because the water cure was a form of enhanced interrogation. prisoners were laid on the ground. water was poured down there throat until they were basically drowning. sounds like waterboarding, but it was happening in the philippines 100 years ago. this is not a story, digging into vast, secret documents. this was a controversy that reached all the way to the white house, was the subject of a senate hearing while roosevelt was in his first term in the white house. if we want to talk about learning from history, we have to unde

at the battle of antietam, she got what she thought was typhoid fever, which is potentially fatal. she was so sick that after three days, she had to leave the area. she could not continue on. that was the first place where she was able to get to the battlefield while the battle was going on. it is really an extraordinary feat, when you consider how sick she was, and she still went all the way out and participated in helping the wounded get off the , and providing relief not only for the wounded, but for their caretakers. the u.s. army was doing the best they could, and actually did make v very good strides medically and logistically throughout the war. with the numbers that they had, it was very difficult for them to keep up. soldiers, missing naturally fell into a category that was somewhat neglected. keepas very happy to herself busy and involved at times when she did not have a whole lot of other work to be doing. into anyrally fell time of war when you have missing soldiers. clara barton was actually the getting a charter for the international red cross, she was the one who had

at theng and fleeing battle of antietam, and then imprisonment in andersonville.re is hugely significant. i argue it becomes a redemption narrative for them. what happens to them here, the suffering they experienced. for them, they want that to be as good as fighting at gettysburg. as good as experiencing chancellorsville or vicksburg. yes, they are union veterans and yes, they run the winning side. but they want also be counted as victors, even though they can't show the same battle scars there other comrades could. it's difficult because x pows really weren't seen and perceived as the same as other veterans. this is true not just for the 16th connecticut. i'm really exploring how they cope with the experience, how they wanted the memory to be crafted. this was a lingering issue for them. they came back here, the veterans, many of them in the early 1900s to commemorate the monument to their state. i argue this is really a monument to their regiments. effort,arheaded the they led the state commission, they were mostly manning the monument commission. one of their

leslie gordon wrote a book on the 16th connecticut which got devastated at the battle of antietam and how they dealt with this horrible incident and how they crafted their military experience so they were not looked at as cowards. aboutnelson has written ruins and destruction in the south, so it's not like every woman historian is writing about the home front. think is really cool. to be honest with you, and this is being filmed, so who knows, something might come back and want me but i think male historians are being given a run for their money. maybe it is a mistake and i shouldn't even be looking at them as female historians, just viewing them as historians, but gender,e going to use there are a lot of people doing research coming up with pretty interesting concepts and really digging into the sources and seem really passionate about it. if there's anything i want to leave people with, it's don't let controversies like this battle flag controversy dismay you about your passion for the civil war. it is unfortunate that we have these controversies, but some of the people don't really

all of the incidents happened in july and august near the antietam swimming into reading.at least two reports of a naked man approaching girls and offering them rides or asking them to have sex. on a third occasion he was standing naked in the street about a block away from the pool. some parents say they don't want their children to go outside until this man is caught. >> just can't believe somebody would do that and to children nonetheless. it's absolutely horrible. >> i wouldn't let anybody walk alone anymore. a lot of kids walk in groups but that's even scary. >> police believe the suspect is driving a hyundai santa fe and anyone with information should contact the berks tip line. >> police say an accident involving a motorcycle led to this fire ball on the schuylkill expressway this afternoon. the action cam was on the scene here in the eastbound lanes seconds before fire crews arrived. investigators say the crash between a car and a bike happened near the montgomery drive exit around 1 o'clock. they have not yet released details on how it happened but officials do te

lee marched his army of northern virginia twice trying to invade the north first he was stopped in antietam and the second time he tried it he was stopped in gettysburg. both times he was coming here to harrisburg. it was the heartbeat of this country that centered here and send the goods and materials into the product, the soldiers for the civil war and generally knew if he could get here and disrupt the railroads which are just half a mile from where you are sitting now, if he could do that he could suffocate the north. but that is the sixth against it once had. there's not really anybody alive today that saw the significance of the city. but on that cold october night, harrisburg reclaimed a part of the dickens when it became the first capital city ever in america and still the only capital city to file for bankruptcy. this isn't supposed to happen in a capital city. they are supposed to be recession proof and that's why it's never happened before. they are sending their tax dollars to harrisburg and you have tens of thousands of people coming into the city every day to work for the stat

many of you are familiar with the history mobile that crossed the state, went out of the state for antietam, gettysburg, north carolina for some little event down there. festivals andnut barbecue events and political events. where the civil war may not have happened in the sense of gettysburg with its thousands of people every day of the week, people engaged with the civil war in different ways. maybe they did not come to the battlefield, but they read about it in the newspaper. because we did not have half a million people at each event is not the way to judge whether it was successful or not. rob: you have to figure out how you will quantify success .n how strong thet civil war trust has gotten in the last five years i see it as a success because of the facts and much land has been preserved. maybe if some people today do not find interest in it, that land is there so the stories can be told. i see it as a land preservation success, which i think public historians are using as a goal for their research and telling stories. >> i have a different perspective because i spent five years as a
