This Thursday, April 14, at 4 p. m. we will host Ed Blum, assistant professor of history at SDSU as he discusses "Satan and the Civil War: Considering Ultimate Evil in the War that Shaped America." The lecture will be held in Room LL430 of the SDSU Library.

Next Wednesday, April 20, Thomas Bahde will discuss "Neither Historian Nor Novelist: Captain Francis Moore & The Making of Civil War Memory" in Room LL430 at 7:30 p.m. Bahde, who is the curator of the current exhibit, will speak on a Civil War soldier's memoir held in our collection. Join us to hear these terrific speakers!
