The Stylistics were formed in Philadelphia, PA in 1966 from two groups, The Percussions and The Monarchs. When members from each group were drafted, the remaining members joined forces and changed their name to The Stylistics. The group was then approached by Bill Perry, offering to record a song. Their first song, “You’re a Big Girl Now” was recorded at Virtue Recording Studio in Philadelphia, written by their guitarist at the time, Robert “Doc” Douglas and road manager, Marty Bryant. Before long, the song became a No. 1 hit in Philadelphia, and then other cities followed.

2020 LESSONS IN HISTORY SPEAKER SERIES The National Civil War Museum One Lincoln Circle at Reservoir Park Harrisburg, PA 17103 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Free for the Lecture

Civil War Myths and Mistakes with Garry Adelman

Myths and mistakes have been part of the story of the Civil War ever since the war itself. Indeed even as the war unfolded, participants engaged in reputation protection, misunderstandings and intentional mythmaking. Later, historians, authors, filmmakers and others propagated myth and injected error into known events which conspire to make historical truths elusive. Join Garry Adelman, chief historian of the American Battlefield Trust for a lively discussion of the well-known and little known myths and mistakes that drive many Civil War enthusiasts crazy. From humanity to calamity, bravery to slavery, and secession to putrefaction, we’ll try to sort fact from fiction and have a bit of fun in the process! About the speaker:Garry Adelman is the award-winning author, co-author or editor of 20 books and 50 Civil War articles. He is the vice president of the Center for Civil War Photography and has been a Licensed Battlefield Guide at Gettysburg for 25 years. He has lectured at hundreds of locations across the country, has appeared as a speaker on numerous televised documentaries. He works full time as Chief Historian at the American Battlefield Trust.
