About Our Speaker
*****
On December 10, Dr Peter Carmichael will speak at the next meeting of the Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable to be held at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library Auditorium. Dr Carmichael will be available to meet members and sign books at 5pm and will speak at 6pm.
How did soldiers on both sides of the Civil War handle the physical and psychological stress of war? Dr Carmichael, whose recent book, the War for the Common Soldier, explores this topic, will speak on the longest and most violent chapter of the war, Persevering in Grant's Overland Campaign: How Union Soldiers coped with Battlefield Trauma.
Peter Carmichael is Professor of Civil War Studies and Director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College and received his doctorate under Gary W Gallagher. He served as Gettysburg National Military Park's first Scholar in Residence and continues to work closely with the National Park Service
