BRINGING HISTORY ALIVE
CIVIL WAR TO WOMEN'S SUFFERAGE PRESENTATIONS
GARY REMBISZ
Gary makes history fun. He will uncover little-known facts and figures that will make you laugh or provide trivia answers that you would never guess.
For example, did you know that there is a Union version of Dixie or who made coffee the standard beverage of the U.S. Army? How many pounds of ammunition per casualty at Gettysburg?
Gary Rembisz had been featured in public television, Observer and Eccentric newspapers, speaker at the Historical Society of Michigan.

Governor Warner Mansion
Presentation
Gary spoke of how the Union uniform was made, all wool and how the accouterments were well thought out. Since it was the Victorian Era, the drawers or underpants came to the ankle. Needing rags and heat relief the soldiers would cut the drawers off above the knee.
