    "Have you read a good book recently? Do you want to tell others? Is the book nonfiction? Is it about a time in United States history prior to 1878? Do you want to learn about similar books from Osher students?

    If you are answering yes to all questions, you belong in this class. Each student brings an open mind and ears, plus a readiness to discuss their required reading book choice that is / non-fiction / about U.S. history / covers a time prior to 1878 /

    Classroom experience: Students discuss the book they read, listen to others talk about their book, reference in-class handouts, and make notes. The instructor facilitates the discussion. Students may disagree about books. However, they do so with respectful disagreement, rather than disagreeableness."

    In March-June 1862, General George McClellan embarked upon a massive overland operation – the Peninsula Campaign. It originated at Fort Monroe in Hampton intending to capture Richmond and end the rebellion.

    A major engagement of the campaign was the Battle of Williamsburg on May 5, 1862. Although delayed action by the Confederates in their withdrawal up the peninsula to the defenses of Richmond, the battle also marked the emergence of Union General Winfield Scott Hancock (Hancock the Superb) as a gifted combat commander.

    We will deconstruct the battle in terms of strategy, operations, and tactics to understand of the dynamics of the battle and its effects and outcomes – as well as the battle’s place within the larger campaigns that unfolded in our own backyard during the Civil War.

    Week 1 is a classroom work-up of the battle followed by a tour in week 2 of well-preserved campaign sites in the Williamsburg area.
