SUMMARY:ACHS Spring Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Walker  \nCEO for the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation \nThe Future of the Past: Jackson’s Valley Campaign and Battlefield Preservation \nThis presentation will focus on two pivotal battles at Port Republic and Cross Keys that led to the victory over the Union forces. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to hear one of our region’s true experts talk about the importance these two strategic battles played in Jackson’s Valley Campaign. The lecture is free and open to members and the public. Light refreshments will follow Walker’s presentation.\nThis program is free and open to the public. \nKevin Walker will present The Future of the Past: Jackson’s Valley Campaign and Battlefield Preservation. The Battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic were significant as being the final decisive battles in Jackson’s 1862 Valley Campaign\, and took place on June 8th and June 9th respectively.  Two weeks earlier\, Jackson and his army had forced General Banks from Winchester into full retreat to the Potomac.  Jackson quickly moved back up the Valley to avoid being caught between two more Federal armies and then proceeded to defeat them\, one at a time.  Together\, the battles of Cross Keys and Port Republic the following day gave Jackson and his troops the boost they needed  to force the last of the Union armies to retreat from the Valley\, leaving Jackson free to reinforce  General Robert E. Lee for the Seven Days Battles outside Richmond\, Virginia.  \nWalker made the point that the Valley Campaign as a whole is one of the three most frequently taught examples of well-executed military campaigns\, not just in the United States\, but also in military schools around the world. Walker stressed the importance of studying history\, as it provides us with reminders of what actually happened in the past and serves as a caution for what could happen in the future\, depending on our actions today.  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Stuart Lecture
DESCRIPTION:On December 7\, 1941\, a Pan Am passenger plane winging over the central Pacific learned that the Japanese had just bombed Pearl Harbor\, where they had landed and embarked from the day before the attack. The adventures of the plane and its crew as they worked to escape attack and get home safely make up a little-known but compelling tale. The plane not only had to avoid Japanese aircraft\, it had to find safe places to land and refuel on what would become a perilous voyage home. \nVon Hardesty tells the tale of this plane\, named the Pacific Clipper.  Hardesty is a retired curator from the Smithsonian Institution’s National Air and Space Museum and is the author of several books on early and wartime air adventures.  He is also currently a member of the ACHS Board of Directors. \n  \nThe talk will be 7 p.m. Thursday\, November 17 in the second floor lecture room of the R.
