Tuesday Evening Walk – August 13, 2024

LBG Ralph Sigel’s 13 August 2024 “Schurz at Gettysburg: Profile and battle account of Major General Carl Schurz.”

Considering his career before, during and after the Civil War, there is a strong case that Carl Schurz was the most influential immigrant leader of the 19 th Century. His electioneering for Lincoln earned him a battlefield commission but did he deserve it? How did Major General Schurz do at Gettysburg and why is he so easily overlooked?
