  Raasch's book tells the story of famous New York Times correspondent\, Sa
 m Wilkeson\, who arrived at the Battle of Gettysburg on its first day to l
 earn that his son\, Bayard\, the youngest artillery officer in the Union A
 rmy\, had been gravely wounded and was missing. Imperfect Union tells abou
 t the father's search for the son\, amid the countless stories of degradat
 ion and heroism and quiet perseverance in the battle's aftermath. Tens of 
 thousands of people from all over the North came to the suddenly famous to
 wn in search of wounded or lost loved ones\, in what Raasch describes as t
 he second great invasion of Gettysburg.  \n\nChuck Raasch is a journalist\
 , originally serving as an original cover story writer for USA TODAY after
  the paper launched and was a political columnist for its parent company\,
  Gannett\, for 20 years. Mr. Raasch closed out his career as the chief Was
 hington correspondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has had bylines 
 from 49 states and four continents and covered six presidential campaigns.
  He and his family have lived in Alexandria for 35 years.\n\nTo help set t
 he 19th-century mood\, we invite you to join us in a toast before the lect
 ure with a period beverage. For this lecture we offer options taken from H
 ow to Mix Drinks\, The Bon-Vivant's Companion\, by Jerry Thomas\, publishe
 d in 1862. If you prefer\, Thomas also includes "Temperance Drinks\," such
  as lemonade (reduced recipe: bruise one sliced lemon with one cup of suga
 r\, add 5 ? cups of water\, stir) and orangeade (substitute oranges for le
 mons). We'll drink a toast to our speaker before the lecture with your bev
 erage of choice.\n\n\nLocation:  Virtual Only\nFees: $6\nAudience: Anyone
