Civil War: Personal Stories

July 9, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Jim Kleefeld, Ohio’s master library presenter, has created another engaging program for adults. Civil War: Personal Stories is a 60-minute talk and display of stories and artifacts from the 1860s. These are carefully researched tales about families, men, women, children, those who went to war and those they left behind. Jim brings a collection of antique and unusual artifacts and will share the stories behind them. You will see and learn about clay bullets, tintype photos, medicines, handkerchieves, books, and even a Bible that survived the war.

These are intriguing personal stories about individuals – not the battles, the armies the fighting, but the people who lived and died in those perilous times. Hear stories, see displays, investigate history, discover books and research from the 1860s. As always, Jim includes many references to the books, papers and online research he has used while investigating these fascinating events.
