SUMMARY:Civil War Author Talk
DESCRIPTION:Local author Amy Truesdell will discuss her new book\, From Binghamton to the Battlefield: The Civil War Letters of Rollin B. Truesdell\, which traces the Civil War experiences of her great-great-grandfather\, an early enlistee in the Union Army. Using the 100+ letters Rollin penned for his family as a guide\, Truesdell will share the arc of Rollin’s experience as he transformed from eager raw recruit to war-weary\, battle-tested veteran. After Q&A\, Truesdell will sign copies of her book which will be available for purchase for $30 each. \n  \n \n  \nAmy is a writer and consultant whose appreciation of family and cultural history led her to fulfill a long-held dream of narrating the Civil War experiences of her great-great-grandfather. Formerly she was a lead foreign affairs officer with the U.S. Department of State specializing in conflict resolution in Central and East Africa. \n  \nThis talk is free and open to the public\, with donations at the door gratefully accepted to support Lincoln County Historical Association’s ongoing efforts to preserve and share the objects and stories of our local history with the public.

SUMMARY:Enslavement in Maine
DESCRIPTION:Preregistration (below) is required to receive the Zoom link for this program. \nLearn some of the lesser told stories of our past with an overview of enslavement in Maine\, beginning in the 17th century and describing its expansion in the state over two hundred years. She’ll share stories of individual enslaved people\, and bring to light some of the people who experienced slavery in what is now Lincoln County. \nVana Carmona is the founder of The Prince Project\, a database of over 2000 people of color who lived in Maine prior to 1800.  She began researching enslavement in Maine eight years ago after she discovered that several of her ancestral New England families enslaved people of color and were also complicit in the slave trade itself. Because of her grandmother’s interest in genealogy and history\, she had always known that she had descended from a number of early New England settlers. But it was only recently that Vana discovered the role they had played in enslaving kidnapped Africans. \nVana has also given presentations on her work to various local historical societies and schools and is a docent/guide for several historic sites in the Portland area\, including Maine Historical Society and Spirits Alive (Eastern Cemetery\, the oldest public burial ground in Portland\, Maine\, it has two sections of African American graves).  She is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College\, and completed her Masters of Liberal Arts (focusing on Medieval History) at California State University/Sacramento.   \nThis talk is free\, but please consider a donation to help our dual goals of offering high quality programs to the public and continuing our mission of stewardship for our three irreplaceable historic buildings.  \nThe Zoom link for this remote talk will be sent one day before the event to the email address included in the form below. \n  \nPlease register using the form below.
