SUMMARY:Archival Adventures: Civil War Aeronautics
DESCRIPTION:Up\, Up\, and Away in our beautiful balloons! This week 
 ArchivistAnthony will be exploring the history of aeronautics during the 
 American Civil War. Civil War aeronautics involved the use of balloons for 
 military aerial reconnaissance. The men who piloted the balloons were 
 called aeronauts\, and were members of the Aeronautical Corps\, or the 
 Union Army Balloon Corps. The idea behind the use of balloons during the 
 Civil War came when President Lincoln learned about the expertise of 
 Professor Thaddeus Lowe\, and made him the first Chief Aeronaut of the 
 Union Army Balloon Corps. Today\, Professor Lowe is commonly referred to as 
 the father of the United States Air Force. Learn more about the items we 
 will be exploring: bit.ly/ArchivalAdventures160\n\nJoin our community 
 collections archivist\, Anthony Wright de Hernandez\, for a livestream on 
 Twitch! Every week we explore and discuss materials from Special 
 Collections and University Archives covering topics including university 
 history\, NASA pioneers\, architecture\, science fiction\, cooking\, LGBTQ  
 history\, Black history\, urban legends\, and more. Recordings of previous
