July 21,
2011 is the 150th anniversary of the battle of Manassas (battle of Bull Run for us Yankees)!!! To celebrate this historic event,
Jim Hinnant and I will be presenting a lecture on this first great battle
of the War Between the States (that is the Civil War for us Yankees and
the War of Northern Aggression for Rebels).
Take note, because of this anniversary, our meeting will be held on Thursday July 21, 2011 at 7:00 PM at the Wayne County Museum (instead of our normal Tuesday meeting).
Jim and I will present this battle from the initial plans to the strategy and tactics the day of the battle. What happened and why did it happen? How did McDowell come so close to victory only to lose it all? How did Johnston and Beauregard work together to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? What pivotal role was played by Thomas J. Jackson so that he became forever known as “Stonewall?” And finally, how did this battle impact the rest of the war?
Bring your friends and family for an event that will be interesting and fun!
