To commemorate the Civil War Sesquicentennial (2011-2015), the National Park Service created the handbook “Asian and Pacific Islanders and the Civil War,” which highlighted the forgotten service of dozens of soldiers who served in the Union and Confederate armies and navies during the Civil War. Historian Steve T. Phan, who was featured in the publication, will present a lecture on the unknown citizen soldiers of Asian descent who participated in some of the war's largest battles, and campaigns in nearly every military theatre from Virginia to California.
