Death in the Civil War screening
New Mexico History Museum

With casualties in the Civil War reaching unfathomable numbers equalling about 2.5 percent of the entire population, the ways that both sides of the war grappled with death and dying changed drastically. In Death in the Civil War, a PBS documentary, we learn how America dealt with large-scale deaths of unidentified people and the cultural need for dying honorably. Part of the programming series for the museum’s exhibit, Fading Memories: Echoes of the Civil War, a collaboration with the Santa Fe Opera’s debut of Cold Mountain this August. Free with admission; NM residents free on Sundays.
