More good news from the American Battlefield Trust (ABT). In consideration of our loyal and generous support of battlefield preservation efforts, the CWRT of Eastern Pa., Inc. will remain among ABT a 25-year member in good standing. Receiving this accolade couldn’t have happened without people like you; thanks once again for your continuing support.
We’ve got what I think will be another great lecture coming up next month. Dr. Andy Waskie, who guided last year’s Philadelphia field trip to Laurel Hill Cemetery and The Union League of Philadelphia, will share his extensive knowledge of Civil War era veterans’ organizations, with a focus on the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R). Dr. Waskie is a highly credentialed historian, especially on the subject of the Civil War, and I’m really looking forward to hearing what he has to share with us. Hope to see many of you there.
Inside the March newsletter, you’ll notice that the literary logjam seems to have finally broken up—we found 19 Civil War books scheduled to release in March! You’ll find the list on page 7. Inside, you’ll also find behind-the-scenes tidbits and retrospective thoughts related to the Battle of Pea Ridge, which took place this month in 1863.
PLUS - check out the preliminary details about our planned June field trip to Frederick, Maryland, and more.
