Thank you to the rabbi for that remarkable introduction. I have to say that the subject of my lecture not only concerns a historic event, but actually put my academic career in jeopardy. In 1982, i was a young faculty member at the Hebrew Union College Jewish Institute of religion in cincinnati, and i was invited to deliver a talk before the institutions board of overseers. This was an important rite of passage for a new faculty member. And i was determined to prove myself. Since 1982 coincided with the 120th anniversary of ulysses s. Grants general orders number 11 expelling jews as a class from his war zone, i decided to take that infamous 1862 order as my subject. Grants order was the most notorious official act of antisemitism in American History. It is really the only time that jews as a class had been expelled from anywhere in the united states. And around 1982, new information concerning that order had become available from the association that published ulysses s. Grants papers

Phrases were used to these daysgrant went from rags to riches and did it the hard way. He earned it. And he had to really fight and scrap, but he made it. A question toward tom here. Involves one of mississippis own guys, earl van dohrn, i hear he is quite the ladys man, and suspect, general . Easterly van dohrn is a fascinating individual. He is at the heart of what i do at the Civil War Interpretive Center because he is the army commander, army of west tennessee, his campaign is to retake all of west tennessee but he has to take the garrison at corinth first, and he has got a lot to live up to. Much is thought of him at the beginning of the war. He is the second ranking jenna mississippi, only to jefferson davis. He is placed in command of the transmississippi department, and he leads an army to defeat at pea ridge. He brought across the mississippi river, shortly after the battle of shiloh. He misses a few opportunities to hurt general halaks army group during the siege of corinth.
