The American Civil War was the defining moment in American history. But sadly much of the history is being lost and not told. If you are lucky enough to make it to one of the major battlefields and the many museums and see the history firsthand consider yourself very lucky. But many many of us don't have that opportunity to go to such sites. Well no Life of a soldier presentations can bring the histoy to you .

The story of the Civil War soldier is one you don't find in text books or in the latest magazien. It can only be told by someone who lives and breaths it , and can give you the first hand knowledge that comes along with it .

His unique perspective will bring the history to life right befor your eyes!!!!
Here is what one student of a NY school said about the presentation.
"Dear Mr Bascom ,

I really enjoyed your presentation. I really appreciated the fact that you got all this prized Civil War memrobilia for us." I was really amazed and into it . I liked when you showed the gear that they used for war. I would like to see more of the weapons. I didnt know that one of your ancestors fought in the war. That is alot of courage and dignity to do risk your life for freedom to all races. I learned the techniques of fighting in the war and basic training. i would really want you to come back anytime.sincerly Angelo"
