SUMMARY:September Engagement - Common Soldiers and the Environment in 1862 
 Virginia - Virtual Engagement VIA ZOOM
DESCRIPTION:\nDoctor Kathryn J. Shively is an Associate Professor at Virgin
 ia Commonwealth University where she specializes in military history\, the
  American Civil War\, and environmental history.&nbsp\; She received her P
 h.D. in 2010 from the University of Virginia.&nbsp\; Dr. Shively's researc
 h and teaching interests involve the evolution of America’s armed forces
  from the 1600s through the late nineteenth century\, with a particular fo
 cus on the interactions of soldiers with their “natural” environments 
 and soldiers’ mental and physical health. To this end\, her first book\,
  Nature’s Civil War: Common Soldiers and the Environment in 1862 Virgini
 a\, winner of the 2014 Wiley-Silver Prize for best first book on the Civil
  War\, explores how enlisted soldiers adapted to the mental and physical c
 hallenges of their wartime environments by adopting self-care techniques\,
  from eradicating mosquitoes to boiling water\, and informal networks of h
 ealth care\, including African Americans\, women\, and\, of course\, each 
 other.&nbsp\; For the last decade\, she has been working on a biography of
  Confederate General Jubal Early.\nIn her talk entitled\, "Nature's Civil 
 War: Common Soldiers and the Environment in 1862 Virginia\," Dr. Shively w
 ill explain that Civil War soldiers perceived their environments as respon
 sible for their deteriorating physical and mental health during the Shenan
 doah Valley and Peninsula campaigns. In response\, soldiers developed self
 -care techniques\, from eradicating insects to straggling for shelter\, in
  order to combat their natural enemies. The stakes were high\, as two-thir
 ds of soldier mortalities resulted from disease rather than combat.
