The discussion group of the McHenry Civil War Round Table will meet tomorrow, April 22, at Panera Bread at 6000 Northwest Highway (US-14) in Crystal Lake from 10 a.m. to noon. This was definitely a busy month 152 years ago.
I intend to bring up the Confederate victory at Fort York in North Carolina, which I started writing about back on April 6. One of these days I might just finish it.
Some other things happening in April 1865:
9th-- Surrender of Lee.
14th-- Lincoln assassinated
19th-- Lincoln's funeral; begins
26th-- Johnston surrenders to Sherman. John Wilkes Booth killed.
27th-- SS Sultana disaster
29th-- The blockade of most Southern ports lifted.
