Letters to Raintree County
This presentation is based on Mr. Cash’s latest book, Letters to Raintree County. It features twenty-five letters from Civil War volunteer soldiers. Some of these soldiers fought in the Western theater, in such epic battles as Shiloh, Stones River, and Chickamauga, under Generals Buell and Rosencrans. Some letters describe the campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta under General Sherman. The Civil War pervades the book, and this talk based on it, with other letters from Virginians and Pennsylvanians. This presentation will help you gain an understanding of how the war affected affected many people on a personal level.
Unsung Heroes: U.S. Presidents from Ohio
Eight men from Ohio won the U.S. presidency between 1840 and 1920. Although they lived dramatic lives and were heroes of their time, they are not generally highly regarded today. This program makes a case for reconsideration of the merits of the Presidents from Ohio.
Playing Through the Rough–A Satirical History of Golf
This program presents a satirical history of the game of golf from its Roman beginnings to its current status as a worldwide sport. Using the words of Shakespeare, Robert Burns, and Sir Walter Scott, the speaker presents a unique slant on the stories of literary and historical figures from Scotland and Great Britain.
Mr. Cash has also created a number of other presentations, such as The Clash for Ohio: William Henry Harrison, Little Turtle, and Tecumseh; Lincoln and the Ohio Presidents; Five Ohio Presidents and their Civil War, The First Ladies of Ohio’s Presidents; and Education, Character, and Culture of the Ohio Presidents.
