Songs and Stories of the Civil War will be offered on Thursday, June 3, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the HACC Campus, 731 Old Harrisburg Road, Gettysburg.
Dressed in period soldier's clothing, Matthew Dodd will take listeners back in time to feel what it was like to be a soldier, civilian, loved one at home, or escaped slave in the Civil War era.
Through period songs, excerpts from actual letters and anecdotes (humorous and poignant) he evokes the feelings and passions of that pivotal era of American history.
Dodd sings and plays acoustic guitar, harmonica, banjo and mandolin in an informal campfire or story circle setting.
