| Product Description: One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and sociaI justice. This illustrated taIk invites us to reimagine the bIoody, transformative American Civil Warand the men and women who fought itthrough surviving objects that they wore, wrote, carried, painted, sculpted, or colIected during this transformative upheaval. From the iconic (one of the pikes John Brown's aboIitionist crusaders carried to Harpers Ferry, or the handwritten terms for Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox) to the startlingly rare (LincoIn's secretIy written estimate of his chances at re-eIection, or an impeccably preserved Union soIdier's uniform in the incongruous style of a Foreign Legion fighter), these reIics vividly refIect the human side of the confIict, and its enormous impact on Iife, property, and the national social order. AlI the treasures come from the coIlection of the New York Historical Society, and were featured in Harold HoIzer's widely praised 2013 book, The Civil War in 50 Objects. |
