SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - The Painter's Fire: A Forgotten History of the Artists Who Championed the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The war that we now call the American Revolution was not only fought in the colonies by soldiers with muskets and bayonets. On both sides of the Atlantic\, artists also played an integral role in forging revolutionary ideals. Discover with Dr. Zara Anishanslin the inspiring stories and intertwined lives of three largely forgotten Patriot artists: Robert Edge Pine\, Prince Demah\, and Patience Wright. They defied the British monarchy\, armed with paint\, canvas\, wax\, and espionage while risking their lives and reputations to support the cause of liberty. \nThe Historic Annapolis Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor. If you enjoy this program\, we hope you will consider becoming a member or making a donation today to support Historic Annapolis and our mission to connect all people with our shared history.  \nCan’t watch live?

SUMMARY:Living History on Pinkney Street: Civil War First Maryland Volunteer Infantry Regiment
DESCRIPTION:Meet the Civil War First Maryland Volunteer Infantry Regiment on Pinkney Street! Learn about their recruiting efforts in August and September of 1862 to replace troops lost at the battle of Front Royal\, as well as reintegrate the prisoners to be exchanged and paroled at Camp Parole. \nThis is a drop-in style program. Visitors may join at any time during program hours and explore at their own pace through informal interaction and demonstrations. Advance registration recommended but not required. \nCost: Free ($5 suggested donation) \n \n  \n  \n\nAbout our Presenters: \nThe Original First Maryland mustered into the United States service in Baltimore\, MD in May 1861\, for three years of service. It was stationed at various places in Maryland during the ensuing year\, doing guard duty most of the time along the Upper Potomac and C&O Canal. In March 1862\, it crossed into Virginia with Banks’ troops and moved up the Shenandoah Valley. The regiment was stationed at Front Royal\, Va.\, where\, on May 23\, 1862\, it was surrounded and cut off by Jackson’s rapid movement. Their gallant opposition retarded Jackson’s advance\, giving Banks ample time to withdraw in safety from the Valley. The regiment was paroled in September\, and two months later it was declared exchanged. In the meantime\, the small part of the regiment which had escaped capture\, together with some recruits\, preserved the organization and was assigned to the Maryland Brigade (First\, Fourth\, Sixth\, Seventh\, and Eighth Maryland). In March 1863\, this brigade was assigned to Kelly’s Division\, Eighth Corps\, and served in the West Virginia campaign. Upon Lee’s invasion\, the brigade retired to Maryland\, where\, on July 10\, 1863\, it was assigned to the First Corps. In March 1864\, it was transferred to the Fifth Corps. The regiment re-enlisted\, and on its return from its veteran furlough the battalion of veterans arrived at the Harris Farm just in time to enter that action\, its loss there amounting to 6 killed\, 29 wounded\, and 2 missing; a heavy percentage of loss as only a small number were engaged. Colonel Dushane was killed at Weldon Road\, and Colonel Wilson fell at Dabney’s Mills. The men served with distinction till the end of the war. \nFirst Maryland Living History \nThe First Maryland Volunteer Infantry Regiment has been an active living history group since its formation in 1972. The organization is made up of dedicated volunteers who have an interest in the history of the Civil War period and strive to accurately portray the life of the common soldier or civilians from the State of Maryland. The First is involved in living history demonstrations\, authentic encampments\, educational lectures\, ceremonial events\, and battle reenactments across the Mid-Atlantic region. Occasionally\, the unit travels beyond the mid-Atlantic as the ELF Mess. The group takes part in programs regularly in national and state parks; a privilege reserved for organizations with high state discipline and authenticity. A wide variety of events take place every year. The First designates one event each month as a company event\, at which we urge our members to turn out. \nAccessibility: Part of this program takes place at Hogshead Trades Museum and requires ascending and descending a flight of stairs. There are no restrooms on site. \nCancellation and Refund Policy: Historic Annapolis reserves the right to cancel or alter any programs. Unless otherwise stated\, all tickets are non-refundable.  \nPhotography Policy: Historic Annapolis reserves the right to take photographs and video footage of people of all ages at Historic Annapolis-sponsored events for publicity. If you do not wish to be photographed or filmed\, please opt out by notifying Historic Annapolis staff.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture - Brothers in Arms: The Revolutionary Service of James and Edmund Brice
DESCRIPTION:During the Revolutionary War\, James Brice served as Captain of the Annapolis city militia and County Lieutenant of the Anne Arundel County militia\, positions that earned him the honorary title “Colonel.” But James wasn’t the only Colonel in the Brice family; his brother Edmund\, an artist by training\, was named a Lieutenant Colonel by Congress at the personal request of the Marquis de Lafayette. Wartime responsibilities kept James Brice close to his Annapolis home\, while Edmund Brice’s duties as an aide to Lafayette kept him on the move. Glenn E. Campbell\, former Senior Historian of Historic Annapolis\, explores the fascinating life stories and revolutionary experiences of two brothers who joined the fight for American independence. \nThe Historic Annapolis Virtual Lecture Series is offered free of charge thanks to the generosity of an anonymous donor.
