Murray.\n\n\n\nCost is $5 per person. Zoom Login details will be sent with your email registration confirmation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTalk Synopsis\n\n"The Victor of Gettysburg: George Gordon Meade & The Civil War"\n\n \n\nOnce prominently defined as the "Hero of Gettysburg\," General George G. Meade is now commonly obscured by generals deeply embedded into the Civil War narrative--Grant\, Sherman\, and Sheridan or Lee and Jackson.  Indeed\, Meade commanded the Army of the Potomac\, the North's principle instrument of war\, longer than any other commander and assumed a prominent role in the course of the Civil War.  Together\, we will explore George Meade's role and influence in the Civil War from his command of a brigade in the Pennsylvania Reserves to the commanding general of the Army of the Potomac. \n\n\n\nBiography\n\nDr. Jennifer M. Murray is a military historian\, with a specialization in the American Civil War\, in the Department of History at Oklahoma State University.  In addition to delivering hundreds of Civil War battlefield tours\, Murray has led World War I and World War II study abroad trips to Europe.  Murray's most recent publication is On A Great Battlefield: The Making\, Management\, and Memory of Gettysburg National Military Park\, 1933-2013\, published by the University of Tennessee Press in 2014.  Murray is also the author of The Civil War Begins\, published by the U.S. Army's Center of Military History in 2012.  She is currently working on a full-length biography of George Gordon Meade\, tentatively titled Meade at War.  Murray is a veteran faculty member at Gettysburg College's Civil War Institute and a coveted speaker at Civil War symposiums and roundtables.  In addition\, Murray worked as a seasonal interpretive park ranger at Gettysburg National Military Park for nine summers (2002-2010).
