SUMMARY:Marching Home:  Union Veterans and Their Unending Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Friday\, November 8 for a special salute to o
 ur veterans\, past and present\, as Dr. Brian Matthew Jordan discusses the
  myriad challenges Union veterans had to contend with when they came march
 ing home again.&nbsp\;\nFor well over a century\, traditional Civil War hi
 stories have concluded in 1865\, with a bitterly won peace and Union soldi
 ers returning triumphantly home.&nbsp\; The reality was decidedly less glo
 rious.&nbsp\; These veterans — tending rotting wounds\, battling alcohol
 ism\, campaigning for paltry pensions — tragically realized that they st
 ood as unwelcome reminders to a new America eager to heal\, forget\, and e
 mbrace the freewheeling bounty of the Gilded Age.&nbsp\; Drawing on anguis
 hed letters and diaries\, essays by amputees\, and gruesome medical report
 s\, all deeply revealing of the American psyche\, Dr. Jordan will shed new
  light on the plight of those who won the war\, but couldn’t bear the pe
 ace.\nA native of northeastern Ohio\, Dr. Jordan is an associate professor
  of history and chair of the History Department at Sam Houston State Unive
 rsity.&nbsp\; He graduated with a B.A. in History and Civil War Era Studie
 s from Gettysburg College in 2009\, and went on to earn his M.A.\, M.Phil.
  and Ph.D. from Yale University\, where he studied under Professors David 
 Blight and Joanne Freeman.&nbsp\; He is the author of Marching Home: Union
  Veterans and Their Unending Civil War\, which was a finalist for the Puli
 tzer Prize in History\, and A Thousand May Fall: Life\, Death\, and Surviv
 al in the Union Army\, which recounts the many challenges faced by the 107
 th Ohio Volunteer Infantry\, which was composed primarily by ethnic German
 s whose loyalties were regularly questioned by the nativist northern press
 .&nbsp\; He is a frequent speaker at Civil War Round Tables nationwide\, a
 nd delivers popular tours for Gettysburg College's Civil War Institute and
  the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.\nThose who are unable t
 o attend this engagement in person are invited to tune in to the lecture a
