Jim Holmberg, Curator of Special Collections at The Filson Historical Society, will discuss Captain Benjamin F. Walter's life and his experiences during the war, quoting extensively from Walter's letters (part of The Filson Historical Society's significant Civil War collection), because "it can rarely be said better than in the words of the person who experienced the events and wrote the letters." Captain Walter was with the 23rd Indiana Volunteer Infantry Regiment. This program is the first in a summer series of Lunch & Learn programs pertaining to the Civil War. Bring your own lunch, drinks are provided. Free, but registration required (812-944-7336). Sponsored by the Carnegie Center, Inc.
