The book follows the men of the 5th Corps and the Army of the Potomac through the Wilderness, Spotsylvania and Cold Harbor, with the army condemned to moving blindly through enemy territory without the benefit of cavalry scouting or screening. It considers the lost opportunities of June 1864, when Grant's masterly movement of the Army of the Potomac across the James to confront the enemy at Petersburg should have ended in victory and the fall of Richmond. Bungling and complacency doomed the attacks on Petersburg's fortifications, and instead of victory, the battered Federals faced a drawn-out siege, and another 10 months of war. Finally, the author considers what happened to a number of the prominent Federal participants in the Overland Campaign during the last year of the war and after. Many of those who lied and cheated their way to the top became government leaders and the authors of policy for years to come. This event is free and open to all.

However, before she shared her personal history with journalist Kathryn Olmstead, few of her many acquaintances knew of her dramatic year as a German refugee during World War II. Now the story, which enthralled readers of a seven-part series in the Bangor Daily News in 2010, has been expanded into a book: Flight to Freedom: World War II through the Eyes of a Child, The Story of Philomena Keller Baker (Maine Authors Publishing). Philomena was nine when she and her mother boarded a boxcar attached to a hospital train of wounded German soldiers, among the last civilians evacuated from Odessa, Ukraine, before the city was reclaimed by the Soviet Army. This detailed memoir traces Philomena’s perilous journey, mostly on foot, through war-torn Europe. She and her mother crossed the Elbe River into American-occupied Germany with German soldiers who were surrendering to the Allies. But their journey was far from over.

Under Our Skin: Documentary followed by Q & A (Fri. 21 Jun, 2013 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm)

Friday, 6/21, 7pm The Grand 165 Main St. Ellsworth, ME 207-667-9500 General Admission:$7 adult$6 senior$5 member 104 minutesUnder Our Skin: The Untold Story of Lyme Disease is a 2008 documentary film about Lyme disease, focusing on the controversy surrounding “chronic” Lyme disease. The film was directed by Andy Abrahams Wilson, who became interested in the subject after his sister contracted Lyme disease. The film argues that persistent infection with Lyme disease is responsible for a variety of debilitating symptoms. The film presents advocates of the position, including International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS), then-Connecticut Attorney General and current United States Senator Richard Blumenthal, and Center for Science in the Public Interest. The position is at odds with that of major medical bodies including the Infectious Diseases Society of America and the American Academy of Neurology, who do not recognize “chronic” Lyme disease as a legitimate diagnosis. The film portrays the Infectious Diseases Society of America as a group laden with conflicts of interest and briefly discusses Richard Blumenthal’s antitrust charges against the society.[2][3] The film, described by the New York Times as “inflammatory” and “polemic”, shows individual patients responding to long-term antibiotic treatment and portrays the IDSA as “an organization riddled with conflicts of interest.”[4] Variety noted that the film “sides with those advocating unconventional treatments, [but] gives gatekeepers from Infectious Diseases of America [sic, actually Infectious Diseases Society of America] their say.” Plus a Q+A with lyme disease specialist. Proceeds from admissions will benefit local families living with Lyme disease.
