SUMMARY:F26-0923A\, Mr. and Mrs. Citizen General of the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Gene Schmiel will introduce us to Citizen General Jacob D. Cox\, who had no formal military training\, yet experienced more facets of the Civil War than most officers: by land and sea\, in both Western and Eastern Theaters\, and among the inner political circles of Ohio and Washington\, DC. Cox later capitalized on his experiences by penning a two-volume Military Reminiscences of the Civil War\, one of the war’s finest memoirs.  During the war\,  he wrote extensively to his wife\, Helen\, a mother of six and the daughter of Oberlin College president Charles Finney. These intimate and insightful wartime letters were an important basis of much of his memoir\, as well as his monograph\, The Battle of Franklin\, which was the definitive history of that battle for many years.  The letters showed both the fondness Cox had for his spouse and his respect for her as an intellectual equal. To Helen\, he revealed—as he did to no one else—his inner thoughts and concerns\, presenting observant\, lucid\, and informative reports and analyses of the war\, his changing life\, and his ambitions as he made the transition from untested soldier to respected general and statesman. \nPresenter: Gene Schmiel\nGene Schmiel is a retired U.S. Department of State foreign service officer\, who also was an assistant professor of history at St. Francis University (PA). He holds a Ph.D. in history from The Ohio State University. Gene has written over 30 books about the Civil War and co-authored the first biography of General Irvin McDowell\, Searching for Irvin McDowell: The Civil War’s Forgotten General\, published by Savas-Beatie in 2023.    Gene is a docent at the Manassas battlefield and is currently working on a new book\, tentatively to be published by the University of Tennessee Press\, entitled\, The Civil War in Statuary Hall. \nLLI Coordinator: David Pace

SUMMARY:F26-0923P\, The Life of Anne Morrow Lindbergh
DESCRIPTION:These days Anne Morrow Lindbergh is often remembered more for her well-known last name than for her multifaceted talents in writing and aviation.  Her marriage to Charles A. Lindbergh\, hero of the skies\, aviation pioneer\, and later controversial political activist prior to World War II\, brought  worldwide attention to a reserved\, intellectual young woman.  Raised in a world of books\, poetry\, and culture in a close\, loving\, and private family\, Anne was plunged into the role of a loyal\, devoted\, supportive wife dealing with the hordes of people who wanted a part of “Lucky Lindy.”  Presenter Kathryn Schmiel will discuss how Anne’s life took a 180-degree turn as she studied aviation\, became a radio operator\, and lived in primitive settings as the couple flew around the world.  A tragedy of unspeakable magnitude struck when her 2-year-old son was kidnapped and died.    You will learn how she coped with the events of her life\, eventually establishing a highly regarded career as a writer\, raising five children\, and discovering her own personal peace. \nPresenter: Kathryn Schmiel\nKathryn graduated from Ohio State University with a bachelor’s degree in education and received a master’s in education from George Mason University.  She taught at schools in Ohio\, Pennsylvania\, and Virginia\, as well as overseas in Djibouti and Iceland while her husband was posted to American embassies and consulates.  She has written several articles about living abroad\, three plays\, and fiction.  Her interest in Anne Morrow Lindbergh as a writer\, flyer\, wife\, and mother began many years ago when Kathryn was in high school and read Dearly Beloved. \nLLI Coordinator: David Pace
