Bartow History Museum Evening Lecture: Confederate Hospitals

Description

Confederate Hospitals of the Atlanta Campaign

On Thursday, August 29, 2013 at 7:00 p.m., Bartow History Museum welcomes guest speaker and author Brad Quinlin.  Mr. Quinlin will discuss his latest research on the Confederate hospitals of the Atlanta Campaign- mainly based on the work of Samuel Hollinsworth Stout, Superintendent of Hospitals for the Army of Tennessee under General Braxton Briggs. Many of Dr. Stout’s records have been preserved and can help us piece together the story of confederate wounded and sick in the towns across Georgia in 1863 and 1864.

Brad Quinlin has written five books, has been a historical consultant on three films, acted in twelve films and television projects – all based on the Civil War.  Recently, he was the historical consultant and researcher on the new Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield film to premiere on September 22, 2013. Brad has researched the Civil War history of hundreds of families across the U.S. including former Vice President, Dick Cheney.  

This Evening Lecture will take place at the Bartow History Museum located at
