UPPER LAKE, Calif. – The Redwood Empire Civil War Roundtable will have its next meeting this coming Monday, May 7, starting at 6:15 p.m., at the historic Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake.
This month is the 150th anniversary of Stonewall Jackson's Valley Campaign and McClellan's Peninsula Campaign.
This was the month that the South appeared to be near defeat, suffering numerous setbacks on every front.
But a combination of Confederate ingenuity and Federal incompetence gave the south new hope and allowed them to turn the tables on the invading northerners.
This month's audio/visual presentations will explain these campaigns and how they effected the outcome of the war.
The roundtable was formed in late 2010 to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the American Civil War (Sesquicentennial), is open to everyone, and there is no charge.
The presentations are geared to be interesting to the historical novice and the junkie.
