SUMMARY:Kulturabend - Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Kulturabend - Lecture\n\n\n\n\nMike Larkin presents: The Civil 
 War in New Orleans\n\n\n\n\nThe Civil War in New Orleans tells the story o
 f the city and region during that most turbulent period in our history.\n\
 nThe city fell after only a token defense\, so many of the uncomfortable e
 lements of the narrative were deliberately excised.\nAs a consequence\, th
 e real life stories of courageous Southern women facing seemingly insurmou
 ntable challenges were not adequately told.\nSimilarly\, the accounts of t
 housands of black men and women who struggled to find their rightful place
  amidst the chaos of war were also\nnot sufficiently mentioned.\n\nMissing
  too are the stories of the thousands of local creole and immigrant men\, 
 blacks and whites\, who filled the ranks of Union regiments\noccupying the
  city. But also largely forgotten was the decisive impact made in this reg
 ion by locally raised regiments\, batteries and battalions\nthat fought fo
 r the Confederacy. Many of these soldiers died in battles far from home. A
 lso erased from the narrative were Union soldiers stationed\nhere.\n\nThe 
 Civil War in New Orleans tells these stories of mostly ordinary people thr
 ust into extraordinary circumstances and how they coped. It is our\nhistor
 y and most of it took place in neighborhoods we now call home.\n\nMichael 
 "Mike" Larkin is a Retired Lieutenant Colonel USAF.\nHe was shot at in thr
 ee wars\, author of two works\; The Civil in New Orleans Book I and Book 2
 . He has been a member of Deutsches Haus since 2005\, co-leading the Main 
 Food Tent during Oktoberfest. He and his wife Paula Fruthaler have been to
 gether for 56 years.\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, September 15th -  Program starts 
 at 7:00\n\nFree and Open to the Public\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is sponsored by t
 he German-American Cultural Center of Gretna and the Ladies Auxiliary of 
 the Deutsches Haus.
