He has lectured widely throughout the nation and has appeared on almost every TV network. Mr. Marszalek is the recipient of many teaching awards, among which is the Richard Wright Literary Award (life-time achievement by a Mississippi author). His talk is a study of two of the most prominent generals of the Civil War, and their not so cordial relationship. |
Marshall D. Krolick "Council of War: Gettysburg, July 2, 1863" including president. He has spoken on Civil War topics throughout the U.S. and is a recipient of many awards. His published works on the Civil War have appeared in numerous publications. The July 2nd meeting called by Gen'l Meade and the machinations by Hooker's chief of statt, Dan Butterfield, resulted in a controversy as to Meade's intended battle plan. That controversy, how it was created, perpetuated and resolved, is today's topic. |
Gordon C. Rhea "Generalship of Grant & Lee during the overland campaign-Spring, 1864." the U.S. and U.S. Virgin Islands.

He lectures on military history and is a regular contributor to TV programs related to Civil War history. Today he will lead us through the spring of 1864, during which the North suffered 55,000 causalities, and the South 33,000. We shall discover who "won". |
Kurt Carlson "Backing the Boys: Chicago Industry in the Civil War." and also of the Salt Creek Round Table. He has spoken to almost all of the groups in the area, and is a fervent supporter of the study of history. He is a practicing attorney, living in Wheaton, IL. In 1860 Chicago was called the "Queen of the Lakes", a business hub, the fastest growing metropolis on the contienet. Mr Carlson will take us on a tour of a city that had then, as today, a lot of good and a lot of bad. It did have a huge impact on the Civil War, some aspects of which still exist. |
