SUMMARY:We Fought at Gettysburg--The 17th Connecticut Volunteers
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Thursday\, June 5 for our annual membership m
 eeting\, at which Harrisburg CWRT member Carolyn Ivanoff will discuss the 
 role that the 17th Connecticut Volunteer Infantry played in the battle of 
 Gettysburg\, and the effects that combat had on the regiment’s survivors
 . &nbsp\;\nOften individual encounters&nbsp\;with&nbsp\;history\,&nbsp\;ex
 perienced by&nbsp\;common people caught in the maelstrom of events\, hold 
 larger truths.&nbsp\; Sometimes these experiences have meaning not only fo
 r those who experience them but for us in today’s world.&nbsp\;This pres
 entation follows twelve members of the 17th Connecticut through the three-
 day Battle of Gettysburg and its aftermath.&nbsp\; It focuses on the stori
 es of the wounded\, the caregivers\, and the honored dead.&nbsp\; These me
 n fought for their lives\, lost friends\, and suffered at Gettysburg. Thei
 r sacrifices resulted in great social and medical advances\, and help us b
 etter understand the hidden costs of war.&nbsp\; The stories of these citi
 zen soldiers remain poignant and relevant today\, 161 years after the epic
  battle.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;\nCarolyn Ivanoff is a retired high school administ
 rator\, author\, and independent historian.&nbsp\; She writes and speaks f
 requently on American history in a variety of formats and venues.&nbsp\; I
 n 2003 she was named American Battlefield Trust Teacher of the Year\, and 
 has received numerous other awards for her writing\, teaching\, and preser
 vation efforts.&nbsp\; In 2018-19 Carolyn served as project coordinator fo
 r the 17th Connecticut flagpole preservation and rededication on Barlow’
 s Knoll at Gettysburg National Military Park.&nbsp\; She has been a guest 
 on “Grating the Nutmeg\,” the podcast of Connecticut history\, the pop
 ular “Addressing Gettysburg” podcast\, and national “Civil War Talk 
 Radio.”&nbsp\; Her book\, We Fought at Gettysburg\, published in 2023\, 
 follows the 17th Connecticut (the Fairfield County Regiment) through the G
 ettysburg campaign and beyond.&nbsp\; It contains many previously-unpublis
 hed personal accounts and photographs of the survivors of the regiment. &n
