Our Stories: First Friday Lecture Series – Michelle Myers – An Examination of Irregular Warfare During the Civil War
July 3 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
A closer look at unconventional warfare tactics, the West Virginia bushwhacker, and how the geography and terrain of the Greenbrier Valley and beyond proved to be “the perfect storm for the huge volume of irregular or guerilla operations conducted throughout the war.”
Volunteer Michelle Myers can usually be found in the museum archives helping to keep our archivist from drowning in paper. Born in England, she has a degree in social anthropology and is a retired attorney. She says her special skill may be the ability to decipher incomprehensible handwriting.
Program will begin at 5 p.m., and last approximately 30-45 minutes. Light refreshments will be served afterward. Guests are welcome to bring their own. FREE and open to the public!
