About this event

Join us on Friday, November 13 from 4:30-6:00 PM as we welcome Dr. Steven Trout to the Brick House stage to present Remember the Tuscania: The Sinking, Its Aftermath, and a Century of Public Memory , a recent release in the Battlegrounds: Cornell Studies in Military History series from Cornell University Press.

Please note the earlier start time for this event!

Remember the Tuscania plunges readers into the night of February 5, 1918, when a German U-boat's torpedo found a crowded US troopship in the North Atlantic--and into the century of argument, propaganda, and remembrance that followed. At its heart are the Baraboo Twenty-One, citizen-soldiers from a Wisconsin town who survived the sinking that became the deadliest U-boat attack on Americans in the First World War and the nation's first mass-casualty event of the conflict.

Steven Trout is Professor of English at the University of Alabama, where he teaches courses in twentieth-century American literature, cultural studies, and memory studies. He is the author or editor of more than a dozen books, including On the Battlefield of Memory from the University of Alabama Press.
