SUMMARY:Civil War Roundtable: Was the Civil War about Slavery? Yes\, No\, and the Path to Yes with Dr. Mark Jaede
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Overview: Although the Civil War unquestionably led to the freeing of enslaved African Americans\, there is ongoing debate in popular culture about whether we should think of is as a war about slavery. Broadly\, there is a tendency for those who sympathize with the North to characterize it as a noble war to free slaves\, and for those more aligned with the South to call it a heroic but doomed struggle to preserve states’ rights and Southern culture. This talk will explore the shortcomings of both generalizations and consider the question of who really freed the slaves. \nSpeaker: Dr. Mark Jaede is a professor of history at St. Cloud State University \nMeetings are held at the Stearns County History Museum\, 235 33rd Ave S\, St Cloud. This meeting will take place on Tuesday\, May 9th at 3:30pm (doors open at 3). \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

SUMMARY:St. Cloud Area Genealogists - What the Heck Does That Say?
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest hurdles to overcome in genealogy is the seemingly illegible handwriting in our ancestors’ records. Professional genealogist Pam Vestal will address that challenge when she presents the webinar “What the Heck Does that Say? Overcoming Difficult Handwriting” for the St. Cloud Area Genealogists on Tuesday\, April 18\, 2023 at 7 p.m. at Stearns History Museum (235 33 rd Ave S.\, St. Cloud). The presentation will also be available online and will be recorded for members and registered guests. \nWhether you struggle to navigate colonial penmanship that doesn’t even look like English or wrestle with contemporary documents that are poorly written\, a few good strategies can make all the difference. Participants will look at more than 20 techniques to help figure out what the chicken scratches on the page say as well as what the style of handwriting might reveal about our ancestors. \nAfter a 20-year writing career\, Pam Vestal turned her focus to genealogy. Vestal’s articles have been published in the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly\, the National Genealogical Society Magazine and Forum magazine. She specializes in conducting genealogical research and then transforming the information into illustrated stories that even non-genealogists can enjoy. \nTuesday\, April 18\, 2023 at 7:00 p.m. (CST)\nFree for members\, $7 for non-members (to register email kmsauer@ymail.com)\nOnline & at the Stearns History Museum\nfacebook.com/stcloudareagenealogists

SUMMARY:Civil War Roundtable: That d__n old google eyed snapping turtle - George Gordon Meade Col. Gary Colberg
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Overview – Since Gettysburg has been covered so well by so many\, be ready to learn about General Meade before and after that historic battle in am audience participative presentation.  This unique\, interactive presentation on General George Meade was originally presented to the prestigious Civil War Round Table of DC. In this presentation we review Meade as a young man at West Point to the end of the Civil War.  What is there to the rumors that he abused his own soldiers when he lost his temper such as the “Peach Tree” incident? How was this general in combat? What about the famous “Cropsey incident” where a correspondent printed fake news in the newspaper (see Libeler of the Press photo)? What was it that he did that identified him to Lincoln as a “fighting general”? I also go into Meade and the Battle of the Crater during the Siege of Petersburg and his controversial and not as well-known decisions there. Two or three volunteers will be sought to have fun and participate as it is much more interesting. Civil War props such as Union and AOP flags\, keppie cap\, Brigadier General’s frock coat\, saber\, and shackles will also be on display. \nSpeaker: Gary was inspired to become a Civil War reenactor after researching his Great-Grandfather who served for three years in the 20th Regiment\, Wisconsin Infantry Volunteers. While serving in the Army National Guard in a unit with lineage and honors back to the 1st Minnesota\, he joined the 1st Minnesota Regiment and started his Civil War reenacting hobby. After being mobilized and deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan multiple times he retired as an Army Reserve Colonel with 37 years of service. After his military retirement he continued to serve\, working in the Pentagon and DC area as a Senior government supervisor\, working with two and three star generals\, and Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. While working in DC he started reenacting again at the 150 th Gettysburg reenactment. He has participated in Living History and battle reenactments at Gettysburg\, Antietam\, Cedar Creek\, Bristoe Station\, Appomatttox and over 50 other battlefields. With the Civil War Impressionist Association (CWIA) he developed an impression of Major General George Meade that become in high demand in the Eastern Theater. One reason the CWIA has been so successful might be because they go beyond the normal Living History presentations\, doing historically correct vignettes to help spectators feel like they are witnessing an actual event on a battlefield. The CWIA won the prestigious Visitors Choice Honorable Mention Award in 2022 at the Jamestown\, VA Military Through the Ages reenactment. In support of DoD\, Gary custom tailored a tour of the Gettysburg battle for non-commissioned officers. In addition\, he led a tour of “the Crater” at the Petersburg National Battlefield. Gary is now retired\, lives in White Bear Lake\, Minnesota where he reenacts as a Private with the First Minnesota\, and does Living History presentations as both Generals Meade and Hancock. \nMeetings are held at the Stearns County History Museum\, 235 33rd Ave S\, St Cloud. This meeting will take place on Tuesday\, April 11th at 3:30pm (doors open at 3).\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

SUMMARY:Civil War Roundtable: History of The Lost Cause with Ian Schroeder
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Overview:  The American Civil War is surrounded by vast mythology.  Indeed\, it is far to say that there are two independent versions of the war.  On the one hand\, there is the history of the war\, the account of what\, in fact\, happened.  On the other hand\, there is what historian Foster Gaines calls the “Southern interpretation” of the event. This account\, “codified” is generally referred to by historians today as “the Lost Cause.”  This version\, touching almost all aspects of the struggle\, originated in Southern rationalizations of the war.  It then spread to the North and became a national phenomenon.  In the national mind\, the Lost Cause represents the popular history of the Civil War; it has been\, to a large extent\, substituted for the actual history of the war.   As his presentation\, we’ll have the chnance to examine the genesis of the Lost Cause\, it’s central tenets\, and contrast these with the actual history of the war. \nSpeaker:  Ian Schroeder – a lifelong history buff with a Masters Degree in Public History from St. Cloud State University. \nMeetings are held at the Stearns County History Museum\, 235 33rd Ave S\, St Cloud. This meeting will take place on Tuesday\, March 14 at 3:30pm (doors open at 3)\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
