MCCWRT Meeting This Tuesday, Mar. 12: Jonathan Letterman

The McHenry County Civil War Round Table will have their regular meeting this Tuesday, March 12 at the Woodstock (Illinois) Library at 414 West Judd Street starting at 7 pm.

This month's presenter will be Gordon Dammann who will speak about Jonathan Letterman.

Letterman is credited with being the originator of modern methods for medical  organization in armies and medicine in the field.  He is known today as "The Father of Battlefield Medicine."

Should be interesting as I had never heard of him before.

The meeting is open to everyone.

AND<  Today is Bang-Clang Day.  This is the anniversary of the Battle of Hampton Roads.  Today, March 9, the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia fought to a draw.  Both were ironclads, hence the bang-clang.
