Accurately mark the battlefield itself. This hour and 15 minute event is part of the annual summer conference hosted by the Gettysburg College civil war institute. Good evening. Carmichael, professor of history here at Gettysburg College. It is my pleasure this evening to welcome Scott Hardwick. I hope everyone is familiar with them. A longtime historian at Gettysburg National park. During that time, as you will know he has given the American Public fantastic and engaging viewers tours. We are fortunate to have him about. Talk to us we honor scott with the Scott Hardwick fellowship given to four historians from the National Park service. The National Park service sorry to say, they provide very little training for their frontline historians. They have a lot of training money for their superintendents, but not many for their historians. We are ablee that to enable these historians to come here and engage and converse with these dollars, to meet the general public. It is one of the thing
Here on cspan 3. Every election cycle were reminded how important it is for citizens to be informed. Cspan is a vehicle for empowering people to make good choices. It really is like youre getting a sevencourse gourmet fivestar meal of policy. Boy, do i just sound like a nerd right there, but its true. To me, cspan is a home for political junkies and the way to track the government as it happens whether it is on capitol hill or the agencies. Most staffers seem to have a television on their desk and cspan is on. I think it is a great way for us to stay informed. I urged my colleagues to vote for this amendment. There are a lot of cspan fans on the hill. My colleagues, when i go back today, theyre going to say i saw you on cspan. Youre going to get Something Like the history of Grain Elevators in pennsylvania or Landmark Supreme Court decisions. I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win. Theres so much more that cspan does in terms of its programming to make sure that people
And kind of a rosy view of spiritual practices of native americans. You get this kind of dualism. So actually to the extent that whites paid attention to this spiritual practices of native americans, they saw in a kind of favorable sort of way. Its kind of a strange sort of double thing. Attitudes toward native americans exist side by side. Did your research on the native americans involve any way that the native americans tribe treated each other and their type of warfare . Is that looked at or considered . Yeah, i can talk a little bit more about that. Western indians practiced mutilation as a matter of course. Within native american culture, this kind of mutilation had a cultural significance and understanding that. When native americans practiced the kind of mutilations that they did against one another on white soldiers, this is the kind of thing that drove white soldiers into a fury. Does that address your question . Can you tell me about the lib a code . Yeah, what youre talking
We have snow showers here drifting across pittsburgh, much of it south of i80. We have a snow shower sneaking into carbon county, back into the lehigh valley. For the most part, were talking very light snow at best. We could be looking at perhaps a dusting mostly on grass surfaces. For whatever makes into the area, i think a lot of it will actually fall apart before it does reach the area. 36 right now in philadelphia, 26 in millville. Again, still above normal here toward the city, 26 in millville, 32 in Atlantic City about 31 degrees pottstown a and a little colder expect north and west, 29 in allentown, 22 toward the poconos.

That will be on the move so by tomorrow morning, well see gradual clearing. Still around 45 by 8 00 a. M. , noon 43 with increasing sunshine as we head toward 4 00, 49 degrees. Once w
Thanks very much and im very happy to be or to get to talk with julia about a book which is what directly. I think there are very few cities that are able to encapsulate the entire country into a Rio De Janeiro does for peoples impression of brazil. I think there are very few books that capture a seat in its entirety as well as this book does about rio. I think what were going to do his julianne is going to begin by reading an excerpt and talk love it among ourselves and open to discussion up to the audience. So without further ado i will let her read a chapter from the book. Thank you all for being here. I really appreciate. This is a little section from the introduction. It started as a process of tapping like inpatient fingers on the desktop. I was on deadline hunched over my desk in the back corner of the associate press newsroom in San Francisco trying to block out the ringing phones and the reporter chatter.
