From the December 17, 2014, New Bern (NC) Sun-Journal "Bearss to return to New Bern for ninth Civil War program."
"An American treasure, Civil War historian Edwin C. Bearss will again appear in New Bern early next year.
On January 11, 2015, at 2 p.m., he will present "Lincoln and His Cabinet" at the North Carolina History Center in town.
The cost is $10 with all proceeds going to the New Bern Battlefield Park.
I finally was able to see him back in 2013 at a Bentonville Battlefield symposium in Smithville, N.C.. I'd wanted to see him for a long time as he is quite a treat to listen to, I doubt if anyone knows more about the war than he does. And, at his advanced age, he will not be with us forever.
Better take your opportunity to see him now. If I didn't live so far away, I'd sure be there. He evidently will speaking the next week at the 150th anniversary of Fort Fisher near Wilmington.
Must Be a Bearss Tour. --Old Secesh
