Professors here at the time. Im a home grown boy as most of you know. Lived just across the river here in Washington County. Grew up only a few miles from the antietam battlefield. Eshepherd as always been special to me. Its great to return here this evening to be here in the bird center. I knew senator bird well. I did quite a number of tours and programs for him at Harpers Ferry National Park when he would come and visit. And he became a big ally in helping preserve civil war battlefields. A really great honor to be here at shepherd, my home school. Im so thankful that 40 years ago i was tak...

But he had telegrams. And that was the internet of its day. And he would go, as anyone who has seen th...

It is custers last stand that inspires americans to the conclusion weve got to eliminate native americans. So the settlement represents americas most shameful power. We went out and exterminate a race. We killed the buffalo to start them to death and those we didnt starve we shot until the west was open for settlement. You have to point a strong finger of guilt towards philip sherman. A great gentleman and the civil war but a man notorious for having said the only good indian is a dead indian. I devote a chapter to Wild Bill Hickok simply to show the absurdity of american mythmaking. These gun...

Do, too, she has brought to the floor those who have the most pressing interest and those who worked tirelessly largely unrecognized in achieving emancipation and therefore, those were the slaves, the people who had the most vital interest and her book lincoln and emancipation fills a gap thats been left in the story of emancipation but bringing to the floor the Important Role that so many blacks played in changing the face of our nation and bringing about emancipation.
