The Lancaster Civil War Round Table will welcome Gettysburg Licensed Battlefield Guide Wayne Wachsmuth to the Lititz Public Library (651 Kissel Hill Road in Lititz) at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 13, 2008, as he presents “Stuart’s Ride: Mission Impossible? A Logistical Appraisal”.
This program is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended by emailing your name, phone number and number attending to srihn@lititzlibrary.org or call the library at 717-626-2255. Come on out and enjoy an evening with Wayne Wachsmuth!
Much has been written and discussed on the subject of Stuart’s ride during the Gettysburg Campaign, but the basic subject of the logistics of that ride are overlooked. Lt. Col. (Ret) Wayne Wachsmuth will look at the “nuts and bolts” of the mission and go into just where Stuart was going, how he originally planned his route, decision points and the all important factors of just what could be expected of the motive power for the mission-the horses!
