SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Bookworm #91 -    Author Conversation with Derek Kane O'Leary -  \"Archival Communities: Constructing the Past in the Early United States\"
DESCRIPTION:Angela Oonk hosts a webinar series featuring topics in American history. This month\, Clements Curator of Manuscripts joins in a discussion with Derek Kane O'Leary about creation of the first archives in the new United States.\n\nArchives\, the foundational resource for historical research\, do not emerge from a vacuum. What materials are included in the archive\, and why? Whose voices are preserved for posterity\, and whose are silenced? In his book\, Archival Communities: Constructing the Past in the Early United States\, O’Leary takes up this crucial task for the era of the early United States\, arguing that key components of America’s archives emerged from within an Atlantic world of circulating scholars\, evidence\, practices\, and ideas. Sponsored by Doug Johnson.

SUMMARY:Livestream / Virtual:Bookworm #93 -  Author Conversation with Barbara Franco\, \"Gettysburg Surgeons: Facing a Common Enemy in the Civil War's Deadliest Battle\"
DESCRIPTION:Angela Oonk hosts this webinar series discussing history topics with guests. This month\, historian and author of \"Gettysburg Surgeons: Facing a Common Enemy in the Civil War's Deadliest Battle\" Barbara Franco takes us to Gettysburg\, the bloodiest battle of the Civil War. A thousand surgeons faced an unprecedented medical catastrophe: 25\,000 wounded soldiers needing immediate care with only primitive tools and their own determination to save lives.\n\nAt Gettysburg's makeshift hospitals—set up in barns\, churches\, and blood-soaked fields—military and civilian surgeons from both North and South worked around the clock performing life-saving operations under fire. Drawing from a decade of meticulous research\, Franco reveals how these courageous medical professionals revolutionized battlefield medicine and established principles still saving lives today.
