Civil War Presentation and Book Discussion
January 5th
7 PM
Woodbury Public Library
The voices of Civil War soldiers rise from the pages of Heroes for All Time. This unusual book presents the war straight from the minds and pens of its participants: rich passages from letters and diaries written by hundreds of Connecticut soldiers, nurses, chaplains, and surgeons who took part in the conflict. Alongside these first-hand accounts of war experiences are hundreds of outstanding period photographs showing the soldiers, their camps and battlefields, equipment and mementoes. Together, the images and narratives create a book unlike any other. Join authors Dione Longley and Buck Zaidel as they give a PowerPoint presentation about the history of Connecticut's role in the Civil War, with an emphasis on the soldiers from the Woodbury area and the participation of the 2nd Connecticut Heavy Artillery. A question and answer time follows the presentation.

Pudd'nheads: Childhood in Colonial America
January 27th
1 PM
Senior Center
Join
Velya Jancz-Urban and Ehris Urban of
The Colonial Goodwife for a fascinating discussion about colonial life.
Pilgrim and Puritan colonists had children, and though it would be hard to tell from historical records, so did African slaves and the indigenous families whom they encountered. Pudd'nheads: Childhood in Colonial America examines the unique aspects of childhood between the late sixteenth and late eighteenth centuries and explores themes including birthing and childrearing practices, parenting, children's health and education, naming, gender, play and rites of passage. Providing fresh historical perspectives on key features of children's lives, this program offers compelling information on colonial children - as well as Native American and slave children, who are too often left out of conventional coverage.
Please sign up by calling (203) 263-2828.
