DESCRIPTION:Dr. Sandweiss explores what one photograph can reveal about a C
 ivil War photographer\, his subjects\, and the world around him.  In 1868\,
  celebrated Civil War photographer Alexander Gardner posed six federal gove
 rnment peace commissioners with a young Indigenous girl wrapped in a blanke
 t. The hand-labeled prints carefully name each of the men\, but the girl is
  never identified. In her book\, The Girl in the Middle\, Dr. Sandweiss sea
 rches for the girl’s identity\, and draws readers into the entangled lives 
 of the photographer and his subjects. In conversation with Dr. Bill Deverel
 l\, this webinar will explore Dr. Sandweiss’ research and work.\n\n\n\n\nMa
 rtha A. Sandweiss is professor emerita of history at Princeton University\,
  where she is founding director of the Princeton & Slavery Project. She is 
 the award-winning author of many books\, including Passing Strange: A Gilde
 d Age Tale of Love and Deception across the Color Line and Print the Legend
 : Photography and the American West.
