This was yesterday's lecture with guest speaker Candice Shy Hooper. An incredibly interesting presentation about the wives of Civil War generals. We had a great turnout too in the Arkell Pavilion at the Southern Vermont Arts Center. Thanks to all who attended!

Following her marriage to Ulysses S. Grant, Julia Grant adjusted to life as a military wife, often managing household responsibilities on her own while her husband was away on duty. Having grown up with slaves, she struggled with running a home. When the American Civil War broke out, her father remained a Democrat and supporter of the Confederacy, while Grant supported the Union, aligning herself to her husband's allegiance.
