SUMMARY:"Missouri in 1861: The Rise and Fall of John and Jessie Fremont"
DESCRIPTION:Lecture\, Power Point and Q&A describing Gen. John C. Fremont’s 100 days in command of the Western Department of the US Army\, and his wife’s role in his campaigns and edicts.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Guerillas in Civil War Missouri
DESCRIPTION:The Field House Museum is pleased to welcome author and historian James Erwin!\nJames Erwin will speak on his book Guerillas in Civil War Missouri at the Field House Museum\, Saturday\, July 18th at 1:00pm. As a border state\, and one with deeply divided political sentiments\, the Civil War was uniquely intimate in Missouri. Besides the 26 large battles fought in the state\, Missouri was the setting for countless skirmishes. Citizens and soldiers alike took part in or fell victim to the guerrilla warfare that became a characteristic of Missouri’s Civil War struggle. James Erwin will walk listeners through the key people\, places\, and engagements of Missouri’s guerilla war. \nThis program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website\, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689\, or by emailing info@fieldhousemuseum.org. \nAbout the Speaker:\nJim Erwin practiced law in St. Louis for 38 years. He is the author or co-author of eight books on various local history subjects\, including the Civil War in Missouri\, steamboat disasters\, and 200 years of notorious crimes in Missouri. His latest book (with his wife Vicki) is Ulysses and Julia Grant’s Missouri Love Story\, published by the History Press in 2025.
