Bruce Allardice is a recently retired history professor from South Suburban College in South Holland, Illinois. He is the author of five books on the Civil War and a frequent presenter at CWRTs (Civil War Round Table) throughout the northern Illinois area.
"I've tried to visit all Illinois round tables," says Allardice. "I finally spoke at Rock River Valley (CWRT) in July 2022 and again in August 2023."
Allardice's great-grandfather served as a lieutenant in the 113th Illinois Infantry during the Civil War, and he frequently saw his presentation sword when visiting his grandparents as a child.
"He was overage and sickly the whole time," says Allardice, "and his regimental commander called him the worst officer in his command."
