This past Tuesday, March 12, 2019, the McHenry County Civil War Round Table (Illinois) met at the Woodstock Library for our first meeting of 2019, after our two month layoff during the winter.

Charlie Banks opened the meeting announcing a couple Civil War battlefield tours.  The Kenosha (Wis.) Civil War Museum will have one October 20-23 to Manassas at a cost of $770 double, $95 single.  This includes everything except getting to and from it.

October 11-12 the Northern Illinois Civil War Round Table will have one to northern Missouri with a $175 cost (not including meals and hotel.

Our speaker tonight was Gordon Dammann, a former dentist in both civilian and military life.  He is also a licensed Battle of Antietam , South Mountain and Harpers Ferry.  Mr. Dammann is a huge Antietam backer and is pleased to announce that a lot of acreage has been added to the battlefield and says this is the most intact battlefield that has changed the least since the time of the battle.

And, the medical situation at Antietam was the Letterman Plan.
