Students: Casey Wyatt, Lacey LeBleu
Texas Public Radio has recently worked with the history department here at Schreiner University on a project known as “This Week in the Civil War,” in which both Dr. Huddleston and Dr. Roethler provide daily accounts of events that took place during the American Civil War. A few students, including the two presenters, were lucky enough to become involved with this remarkable opportunity.
In our exhibit, we look at two pivotal weeks during the Civil War, specifically, September 1, 1862 through September 8, and September 16, 1862 through September 22. The American Civil War was a time of immense polarization within our own borders, so we hope to illustrate a detailed and scholarly account of fourteen particular days that shaped this collision.
