Regional History Colloquium- Hugh Howard, PhD “Houses of the Civil War”

April 23, 2015 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm

Free

Hugh Howard is the author of Houses of the Presidents and many other books on architecture, art, and American history.  The book that his talk is based on, Houses of Civil War America, is a narrative and photographic tour of homes of the Civil War era that uses architecture, biography, and social history to illuminate the often turbulent times of the men and women whose actions determined the fate of a nation.  In showing how influential Americans lived- the papers on their desks, the pictures on their walls, the slaves’ quarters and the grand parlors- Howard provides a new understanding of day to day life in the Civil War era
