Saturday Speaker Series: Stephen A. Goldman, M.D., LFACLP, DLFAPA

Join us for our Saturday Speaker Series at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. Dr. Stephen A. Goldman, author of the groundbreaking book, “One More War to Fight: Union Veterans’ Battle for Equality through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the Lost Cause”, will discuss how, over four incredible years, raw Northern volunteers evolved into professional soldiers and sailors to rival the finest in the world. In a process that continues to this day, pride in their comrades and units, and what they endured and accomplished together, constituted major components of an evolving, powerful warrior identity.

Stephen A. Goldman, M.D. is a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, a historian who has treated and worked with those who have been to war, and the only physician to serve on the Abraham Lincoln Institute Board of Directors.

The presentation is included with admission to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and FREE for NMCWM members.
