SRC Holiday Luncheon
The SRC held it's Holiday Luncheon on Friday, December 5th at the Crestwood Village Clubhouse. It was a wonderful gathering of friends and good food.
Brad Stone, a local docent and historian shared how
Christmas evolved from colonial times in America to the holiday it is today. He focused on how the American Civil War played a fundamental role in shaping our modern Christmas – everything from our image of Santa Claus to exchanging gifts.
After his presentation he offered copies of his book for sale. That book, Hooves, Paws, and Claws for the Cause: Animals in the Civil War, was recently published by the National Museum of Civil War Medicine. https://www.civilwarmed.org/nmcwm/)
