LOCATION:  Gardens at Old Town, 15060 Antonio Drive, Helotes, TX 

SPEAKER: Rhonda Minten, M.A., Assistant History Professor, UTSA

PRESENTATION: "Reading Between the Lines of History; A Texas Woman's Personal Journal Through the Civil War"

This presentation about women in the Civil War will focus on San Antonian Anita Dwyer Withers. At the start of the war, she was a young wife and new mother. Her husband was an officer in the United States Military. Her compelling story, from a journal account that is included in the book Minten co-edited, Living on the Edge: Texas During the Civil War and Reconstruction, documents her personal experiences during this turbulent, uncertain time.
