Why were they willing to put on wool uniforms and go fight heat, dysentery, and each other? You’ll learn how these men felt about what they were doing, and how they coped with life in camp as well as in battle.Discipline, weaponry, their food, their music, their wounds, and their compassion. Even giant snowball fights! It's all here, so join us.

Kathy Simmer taught in the St. Paul Public Schools and was very interested in historical research. Upon retirement she began teaching classes on American history topics in several suburbs and for various organizations. She likes to include the details that are often left out of the history books. 

Kathy's portion of the class fee is donated to the Alzheimer's Association or the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research.  Thank you.
