Summary

As an extension of the educational component of TSCI’s mission, The Toledo-Delmenhorst Committee began a series of presentations on October 20, 2011 at Oak Shade Grove in Oregon, OH.  Marking the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, David Kohler gave a presentation on German Troops in the Civil War.  Mr. Kohler included family narrative, as well as other historical documentation on the subject.  Attendees were encouraged to pose questions and discuss the topic further during a social hour following the presentation.This was the first in a series of planned presentations.  Some of the future topics will include The History of German Businesses in the Toledo Area and a presentation on Delmenhorst, Germany.
