From the Brigade Commander ~ January 2023

The new year is a fresh start on the calendar, full of hope and potential. We’ve got six more Campaign 45 dinner meetings and lectures lined up, and the variety of lecture topics offer something for just about everyone. See page 4 of the newsletter for a listing or our Upcoming Events page for details.

Our January guest speaker, Eric Buckland, has spent the last 15 years researching Mosby and is currently regarded as one of the two “most knowledgeable” historians when it comes to Mosby and his battalion. You’ll find details about our January 3 lecture and dinner meeting on page 2 of the newsletter.

Just a reminder that our upcoming January 3 meeting is also your last chance to purchase raffle tickets for the “Ranger Mosby” print. The unexpected and generous donation of this print provides us with a wonderful opportunity to generate additional funds for Civil War preservation and conservation efforts. In the resale market, numbered and signed Don Troiani prints have sold for as high as $700!! See the newsletter page 5 for more details.

I hope you’ll be able to come out and join us on the 3rd. In the meantime, let me be the first to wish you all a Happy New Year!
