Civil War Author Chuck Beemer will present a lecture on November 16 at 7:00pm in Baxter Hall, where he will discuss events of the Shiloh controversy and cover-up — which are a focal point of his forthcoming book “My Greatest Quarrel with Fortune”: Major General Lew Wallace in the West, 1861–1862. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is presented in conjunction with the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum located in Crawfordsville.
Chuck, his brother Mike, and their Beemer family members are familiar names on campus — being the only presently living direct descendants of Caleb Mills, who was the first principal and only teacher at the founding of Wabash College and the founder of the Indiana Public School System.
Welcome back to campus, Chuck!
