Savannah historian Barry Sheehy told stories of people who lived through and influenced the outcome of the Civil War. At St. Vincent’s Academy he talked about Sister Francis and her illegal pre-Civil War school for black children and Father Peter Whalen, including his service as chaplain to the prisoners of war at Andersonville.

C-SPAN’s Local Content Vehicles (LCVs) made a stop in their “2011 LCV Cities Tour” in Savannah, Georgia, on June 1-8 to feature the history and literary life of the community. Working with the Comcast local cable affiliate, they visited literary and historic sites where local historians, authors, and civic leaders were interviewed. The history segments air on American History TV (AHTV) on C-SPAN3 and the literary events/non-fiction author segments air on BookTV on C-SPAN2. close
