SUMMARY:The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harbor - Lessons in History Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our In-Person Lessons in History Speaker Series as Dr. Bradley M. Gottfried discusses his new book\, The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harbor: An Atlas of the Fighting at Spotsylvania Court House Through Cold Harbor\, Including all Cavalry Operations\, May 7 through June 3\, 1864\, on Saturday\, June 15\, 2024\, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm.  \nAbout the book: The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harbor: An Atlas of the Fighting at Spotsylvania Court House Through Cold Harbor\, Including all Cavalry Operations\, May 7 through June 3\, 1864\, continues the actions of both armies through the completion of the Overland Campaign. After the Wilderness fighting\, the Army of the Potomac attempted to swing around the right flank of Gen. Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia and shoot straight for Richmond. The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harbor breaks down the entire operation into thirty-five map sets or “action sections” enriched with 134 detailed full-page color maps. \nAbout the author: Born and raised in Philadelphia\, Brad Gottfried earned his Ph.D. in Zoology from Miami University and spent four decades as an educator in higher education. He has served as a full-time faculty member\, department head\, campus dean\, chief academic officer and president. Before retiring in 2017\, he served as President of Sussex County Community College (NJ) and College of Southern Maryland for the past 17 years. His interest in the Civil War began at an early age and was rekindled when he returned to an administrative position in the Philadelphia area. His fourteenth book was recently published. His early writing primarily centered on the Battle of Gettysburg\, and he wrote five books on this topic. He has also written two brigade-level histories. His current “niche” is map books\, where he thoroughly describes campaigns through the use of maps. Seven books have been published in this series: Gettysburg\, First Bull Run\, Antietam\, Fredericksburg\, Cavalry at Gettysburg\, Bristoe/Mine Run\, and the Wilderness\, have been published. The Maps of Spotsylvania through Cold Harbor will be published next. He is also working on a variety of other Civil War-related projects. In addition to writing\, Brad is an Antietam Certified Battlefield Guide and a Gettysburg Licensed Town Guide. He may have retired\, but he is still an educator. Brad is married to his wife\, Linda and between them\, they have four grown children and six grandchildren. The Gottfrieds moved from Southern Maryland to Fayetteville\, Pennsylvania\, which is just west of Gettysburg. \nThe 2024 Lessons in History program is free to the public. Regular museum admission applies for entrance to the museum galleries. The National Civil War Museum will follow CDC\, OSHA/HHS guidance\, and orders and recommendations from federal/state/local governments and our state and local health officials.
