Join CU-Boulder Adjunct History Professor Peter Wood for a discussion about the wartime election of 1864—held 150 years ago this fall. The election has rightly been called the most remarkable and significant presidential contest in American history. Through a new generation of research, 1864 emerges as a key year during the nation’s most tumultuous decade, and the greatest confrontation of that fateful year involved ballots, not bullets. Saturday, Sept. 6, 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. in Benson Earth Sciences, Room 180. Free and open to the public.
