From the Brigade Commander ~ May 2024

Campaign 46 is drawing to a close. But just as it started off with a bang—the culmination of a triumphant campaign to bring home the officer’s sword of Captain Jonathan Taylor, Campaign 46 is likewise coming to a memorable ending.

At our second-to-last meeting in May, attendees will be treated to a special Civil War display, inside our own meeting room, that will be curated by Round Table members Alan Lowcher and Jack Stanley. To me, the time and effort that something like this is going to take really speaks volumes about the way so many folks feel about the Civil War ... about not wanting to let it go away.

We want it to continue to tug at our imagination. We want to continue to feel it—even though none of us were there to see it. It’s why there is such a thing as the Civil War Round Table of Eastern Pa. You can read more about the special exhibit in Brigade News or on page 3 of our May newsletter.

I hope many of you will be able to arrange (or rearrange) your schedules to join us on May 7 so that you, too, can fire (or refire) your imagination about the extraordinary moment in history that we call the American Civil War.
