Our first field trip of Campaign 46 will have us heading to Gettysburg’s Evergreen Cemetery (on Saturday, October 7). The carpool will leave from the Marriott at Delta parking lot at 10:30 a.m. and arrive just in time for a barbeque lunch. Afterwards, participants will be treated to a two-hour tour of the cemetery and the Gatehouse Museum. A few spots have recently opened up, and so, if you’d like to join the trip, please contact Claire Kukielka at clkuk@ptd.net as soon as you can.
Our October lecture will feature the Battle of Seven Pines/ Fair Oaks. I hope you’ll be able to join us. Guest speaker Victor Vignola, whose book on the subject is scheduled for a November, 2023, release, has collected from some never-before published sources to create what he says is “an original tactical and leadership study that directly challenges convention accounts.” You can read more about the lecture in the October newsletter. Sounds like it could be an interesting one! I hope to see you there!
In other news, our quest to bring home Captain Taylor’s sword continues to inch closer to reality—you’ll find an update inside the October Newsletter.
