From the Brigade Commander ~ November

It’s time to mark your calendars and plan to join us on Tuesday, November 1st for our next Civil War Round Table dinner, meeting and lecture.

Our November lecturer, Rich Rosenthal, has organized his talk into two sections, each part covering different Civil War era topics unified by a common thread— most of the principals involved were men of the Jewish faith. As always, if you can’t fit the dinner into your schedule, consider joining us later for the lecture.

Inside the November Newsletter, you’ll find a great example of satire—an age-old form of humor that intends to make fun of people or the ills and errors of the time. Round Table member Ed Root recently found a Civil War era gem that’s too good not to share.

Also in that issue, you’ll also read about a man who purportedly served as inspiration for the character of Captain Ahab in Herman Melville’s novel, “Moby Dick.”

In fact, take a look at the second, special print raffle we’ve launched to coincide with our planned January, 2023 lecture.

Hope to see you on the 1st .
