The American Civil War is typically regarded as the first major world event “observed” by the general public while it occurred. No question, photographers helped to make that possible but so did numerous talented artists—both for the sake of art and for periodicals of the period. This session will deal with many of them and their works and we’ll, also, include those that, today, make Civil War art big business.
Lecturer: Fred W. Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT) leads our Civil War battlefield study programs and teaches several GAA courses each semester. He is the creator of the field guide The Civil War: A History of the War Between the States (Workman) and has two degrees from UNC, a bachelor’s in history and a master of arts in teaching with an emphasis in history.
