SUMMARY:Over There: Songs and Letters of World War I
DESCRIPTION:Neill Hartley will visit HVL for this fully staged one–man show featuring iconic songs and letters from World War I. \nMr. Hartley will present the remarkable stories of the war\, told in the words of the men and women who lived it. During WW1\, Americans young and old threw their collective energy into the war effort. Patriotic loyalty and “Americanism” pervaded the country. Songs\, letters and articles kept Americans abreast of the war efforts. During the war\, letter writing was the main form of communication between soldiers and their loved ones\, helping to ease the pain of separation. \nAt home\, American songwriters were exempt from the national policy of paper rationing. Sheet music was as important as arms production. Songs such as “Over There” and “Pack up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit Bag” embodied the American spirit\, and have been passed from generation to generation. \nFollowing the performance\, there will be a short informational presentation about the time period\, followed by a question and answer session with the audience. \nPlease R.S.V.P. \nSponsored by the Friends of Huntingdon Valley Library.  \nPart of Huntingdon Valley Library’s America 250 series.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Smithsonian Curator Emerita Valerie Neal: History of US Women Astronauts
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exhilarating journey through the history of US women astronauts with Valerie Neal\, emerita curator from the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum and expert on human spaceflight. \nSally Ride became a household name as the first American woman in space\, but scores of equally impressive women have also left their mark in space. On a Mission: The Smithsonian History of US Women Astronauts spans 45 years and 61 astronauts to share the epic journeys of women who made space for themselves in a male-dominated field. \nValerie Neal interviewed many of the US women astronauts to bring their experiences to life. She offers a culturally insightful history of their achievements\, the challenges they’ve faced\, and their distinctive stories. Collectively\, they’ve completed more than 100 space shuttle missions\, and more than 30 long-duration stays on the International Space Station and Russian Space Station Mir\, and they continue to prove themselves in present-day space exploration efforts. \nThe book includes 50 black-and-white photographs to complement the historical account. With its sweeping look from the first women astronauts to Christina Hammock Koch\, assigned to the first crewed Artemis mission around the Moon\, there is no comparably thorough book on America’s women astronauts. On a Mission is an inspiring tribute to unsung women’s history. \nRegister now to take part in this inspirational discussion! \nAbout the Author: Valerie Neal is a space historian and Curator Emerita at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Her specialty is human spaceflight\, space technology\, and space science in the Space Shuttle era and beyond. At the Museum\, she collected more than 1500 artifacts of the shuttle era\, curated three exhibitions and eight documentary programs for the Smithsonian Channel (cable TV)\, published books and articles growing from her research\, lectured in the USA and abroad\, and gave many interviews for US and international media. \nBefore joining the Museum\, she was a writer and editor for some 25 NASA publications on Space Shuttle and Spacelab missions\, the Hubble Space Telescope and other Great Observatories\, space science\, and NASA History. She participated in underwater astronaut training in Alabama and mission support in Houston for four Space Shuttle missions. She has taught American Studies and writing courses at multiple universities. Valerie Neal holds Ph.D. and M.A. degrees in American Studies and a B.A. degree in English and History. \nRegistration required

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
