Next Meeting:     Lincoln's Theory of Persuasion: An Analysis of Two Early Lincoln Speeches

Speaker: David Rogstad

Date:     Monday, October 10, 2011                                    

Time:   7:00 PM

Location: 

Manitowoc County Heritage Center, 

1701 Michigan Ave., Manitowoc, Wisconsin

Program:    With featured guest speaker Lance Herdegen, come hear about raising of the 2nd Wisconsin Infantry. The unit was the first three-year regiment to reach Washington. The talk centers on efforts by Gov. Alexander Randall to raise the 2nd even though Wisconsin was only required to form one regiment in the first call for volunteers. The regiment traveled by train across the states and was received with cheers and food at every stop. Especially troubling was the march through Baltimore, a secessionist city where a Massachusetts regiment had been fired on by Southern sympathizers.
