SUMMARY:Civil War Roundtable: Human Interest Stories of the Irish in the Civil War with Scott Mingus
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Civil War Roundtable featuring Scott Mingus on Wednesday\, November 16 @ 3:30 p.m. (note change in date from usual meeting!) \nMeeting Overview:  Erin Go Bragh. Anglicized from the Gaelic phrase for “Ireland Forever.” In the mid-19th century\, the slogan was particularly popular among many Irish immigrants who had moved to the United States for political or personal reasons\, yet maintained their strong familial\, social\, and often nationalistic ties to the old Emerald Isle. Tens of thousands of Irish-born men (and a handful of women) and an even larger number of Irish and Scots-Irish descendants fought in the Civil War\, with Sons of Erin serving prominently in both the Union and Confederate armies. Many left compelling personal stories of their martial service\, or of Irish comrades. In this PowerPoint presentation\, Scott will share more than two dozen stories of prominent and not-so-prominent Irishmen and women from the war years. \nScott Mingus is a retired scientist and executive in the global specialty paper industry. The Ohio native graduated from the Paper Science & Engineering program at Miami University. He was part of the research team that developed the first commercially successful self-adhesive U.S. postage stamps\, and he was an early pioneer in the development of bar code labels. He has written more than 30 Civil War and Underground Railroad books and numerous articles for Gettysburg Magazine and other historical journals. He has appeared on C-SPAN\, C-SPAN3\, PCN\, and other TV networks. Mingus writes a blog on the Civil War history of York County\, PA\, where he lives (www.yorkblog.com/cannonball). He also has written six scenario books for miniature wargaming. A great-great-grandfather was a 15-year-old soldier in the 51st Ohio in the Western Theater\, and a great-grandfather was in the 183rd Ohio during the Carolinas Campaign. Other family members fought at Antietam and Gettysburg in the 7th West Virginia of the Army of the Potomac. \nMeetings are held at the Stearns County History Museum\, 235 33rd Ave S\, St Cloud.\nNote change in starting time:\n3:00pm – doors open and opportunity to socialize and interact with fellow members\n3:15pm – welcome and “new features”\n3:30pm – speaker presentation\n4:45pm – adjourn\nFor more information – contact Andy Ditlevson – aditlevson@gmail.com\, 320-241-8477
