“Clasping Hands over the Great Divide: Civil War Veterans' Reunions and the Path to Reconciliation”  by guest speaker Dr. Caroline Janney

Caroline E. Janney is an associate professor of history at Purdue University. A native of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, she received her Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of Virginia. She is the author of essays about the Civil War and its aftermath that have appeared in The Journal of Southern History, Civil War History, and the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography. Her first book, Burying the Dead but Not the Past: Ladies’ Memorial Associations and the Lost Cause (2008) explores the role of white southern women as the creators and purveyors of Confederate tradition in the immediate post-Civil War South. Her second book, a volume in the Littlefield History of the Civil War Era (University of North Carolina Press), will examine how the Civil War has been remembered between 1865 and the 1930s.
