SUMMARY:The Irish in the American Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Intended for adults. \nThe American Civil War is Ireland’s forgotten conflict. In 1860\, about 1.5 million Irish were living in the United States. During the American Civil War\, some 150\,000 Irish men fought in the Union Army and about 20\,000 joined and fought with the Confederacy. Although there are no exact figures of the Irish soldiers who died\, it most likely ran to thousands. Sadly\, the contribution and experiences of the huge number of Irish soldiers remains somewhat unknown. Join historical reenactor and lecturer Michael Jesberger for a presentation on these “Sons of Erin” who played a major role in the American Civil War. \nPresenter: Michael Jesberger is an independent military historian who specializes in the American Revolution and Civil War time periods. He is a member of numerous history-based organizations and active in the reenactment community. \nRegistration required

SUMMARY:5th PA Militia & the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign
DESCRIPTION:British General William Howe led his force into Pennsylvania on 9 September 1777\, defeated General George Washington’s Continental Army at Brandywine and Paoli on 11 and 20 September\, and occupied Philadelphia on 26 September. The British thwarted Washington’s attempted to retake Philadelphia at the Battle of Germantown on 4 October. The defeated Continentals moved to Whitemarsh on 2 November to monitor enemy movements and plan their next maneuver. Washington used his time at Whitmarsh to decide whether to retake Philadelphia from the British or go into winter quarters at Valley Forge. This choice would shape the outcome of war. The Fifth Pennsylvania/Philadelphia Militia played a critical role in these events around Philadelphia in 1777. \nPresented by Jeff LaMonica\, Professor of History at Delware County Community College \nRegistration opens Thursday\, February 5
