Speaker: Tom Czekanski
More than 600,000 soldiers died in the American Civil War, transforming how the military cared for its fallen and leading to the creation of two of the nation’s most significant cemeteries: Arlington and Gettysburg. This presentation explores the stories behind these hallowed places.
Tom is a historian and retired curator from the National WWII Museum in New Orleans. He enjoys uncovering the stories behind historical events and sharing them with others. He has also participated in Civil War reenactments, portraying soldiers from both the North and the South.
