The McHenry Civil War Round Table will be meeting Saturday, July 29, 2017, at the Panera Bread Company in Crystal Lake, Illinois, at US-14 and Main Street.
The meeting will go from 10: a.m. to noon.
This month's discussion is a good one and should get a lot of input. It is "The Twenty Most Significant Events of / Affecting of the Civil War."
I have my list already prepared and will give some of them. The rest will be next week.
1. The enlistment of blacks into the Union Army.
2. Northern industry.
3. Collapse of the Southern will to fight.
4. Advances in Naval architecture: growth of steam power, bigger guns, ironclads and turrets.
5. Special use warships and blockade-runners.
Looking forward to hearing what others have to say.
Should be a Good One. See You There. --Old Secesh
This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."
