Ed Bearss Speaks on Chicago, WW II and the Civil War

The Northern Illinois Civil War Round Table hosted none other that noted Civil War Guy, Ed Bearrs, at their meeting on December 7, 2018, at the Arlington Heights History Museum.  I had heard about him being there at the McHenry County Civil War Round Table.  If you're into the Civil War, this is a guy you definitely do not want to miss.

I can't help believe that he was there when the war was fought in a past life.

He has written many books about the war as well as made many talks to groups and led many a battlefield tour.  Again, you get total immersion with him.

For years he was chief historian at the Vicksburg National Battlefield.  He really came to the public attention because of his work with the Ken Burns Civil War documentary.

Plus, at age 95, he won't be with us much  longer.
