Kassidy Cobb – “Civil War Songs and Games .”
With the holidays looming, let’s relax and enjoy a light program and explore nineteenth century patriotic tunes, examining how they boosted morale and became musical successes. Kassidy will also detail another pastime that soldiers held dear –playing games. From checkers and chess to cards, there are lots of games that we still play today that were just as popular over 150 years ago. And there are even a few games many people might not have heard of before!
With a Bachelor of Science in History/Creative Writing Minor (Liberty University, 2024) and a love for the past that inspires her to pursue her Masters in History (Liberty University, 2026), Kassidy is serious about sharing history in authentic and relatable ways. Even Mike Wolfe (star of American Pickers) called Kassidy “energetic” about history. Recognized by Congress, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, DAR, SAR, DUVCW, and countless others for her efforts to promote the past, Kassidy has found that history isn’t just a career–it’s a way of life.
