April: History uncovered and a global hero
Richard Ramos
During early April, two divergent 19th century historical accounts take center stage at Florida Gulf Coast University’s Renaissance Academy in downtown Punta Gorda.
The first account explores a group whose exploits during the War of 1812 lay largely unknown and unheralded for almost two centuries: women. The second examines Abraham Lincoln, whose name and achievements spread to the remotest corners of the Earth, before the Internet.
