He is a contributor to several Iowa history web sites and maintains one on Iowa in the Civil War aimed at students and teachers. \nO. J. is a retired Social Studies consultant and Director of Support Services. He became a reenactor in 1993 and got into the hobby because of his love of history and the opportunity to interact with others of like interests. Although retired he continues to teach classes and do talks. Mr. Fargo. is also the president of the Army of the Southwest\, a group of Civil War reenactors headquartered in Waukee. \nThe presentation is free and open to the public.  Refreshments will be served.  A list of all Civil War soldiers from the area will be available at the library for those who might want to see if a distant relative fought on those hallowed battlefields 150+ years ago.  Please join us for the interesting presentation.
