Myths and legends often have some kernel of historical truth. So, what can we make of the Jersey Devil myth? Is any part of the tale rooted in fact? Historian and archivist Mickey DiCamillo discusses the origins of Jersey's most famous mythological monster and identifies the real-life creatures (some human...some beast) that inspired the story that lives on today. From dinosaurs to witches to Benjamin Franklin…a lot goes into making a myth.

Humor, Leadership, and the Civil War
 
Presented by: Sameer Somal



Moderated by: Thomas Leggett



At the darkest hour of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln still found reason to try to cause others to laugh. His humor was more than amusement—it helped him endure extraordinary pressure, disarm opponents, connect with people, and communicate difficult truths. In this lively presentation, Sameer Somal explores Lincoln’s wit, storytelling, and remarkable ability to use humor as a tool of leadership during the nation’s greatest crisis.

Military Justice and the Civil War (ON ZOOM)&nbsp;During the&nbsp; Civil War, the Union forces frequently used military tribunals as an alternative forum instead of civilian courts to maintain law and order in both the North and areas in the South under their control. Their use raised serious constitutional and civil liberty concerns. Nevertheless, they were an important feature of the laws of war that were then being developed by the Lincoln Administration. The program will focus on the notorious 1865 trial by military tribunal of Confederate Captain Henry Wirz, the commandant of Andersonville Prison, who was the only person executed for the wartime atrocities. It will also&nbsp; examine the limitations on the use of military tribunals established in the famous Supreme Court case,&nbsp;Ex parte Milligan&nbsp;(1868). Along the way, we will explore the fairness of military tribunals and their use&nbsp; in enforcing individual responsibility for wartime atrocities - questions that would surface again in the war-crimes trials of the 20th century. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Who doesn’t love learning about a priceless painting found in an attic? Or a sculpture sitting for decades in a public garden, only to be found out as an Italian treasure? &nbsp;After Mallory found herself in the middle of her own art historical discovery when she uncovered the unknown provenance of a Rodin sculpture sitting in a New Jersey town hall, she learned just how many times things like this have happened throughout history. &nbsp;This lecture explores the stories of several different important and valuable works of art that have been rediscovered in unexpected places. &nbsp;The program reviews a brief background of each piece, artist, and how the piece came to be lost, and then found.&nbsp;
