The York Civil War Round Table meets at 7:00 p.m. on the third Wednesday of every month (except December) at the York County Heritage Trust's headquarters building at 250 East Market Street in York. Parking and admission are free. A basket will be passed at each meeting to collect free-will donations to help defray the speaker's expenses. There are no dues or other fees to be a member of this CWRT!

Mark these 2008 dates on your calendar and try to attend these informative and interesting presentations and/or battlewalks!

This is a friendly reminder that Chuck Teague will be speaking at the upcoming January meeting of the York Civil War Round Table (formerly the White Rose CWRT). For details, click here.

See you there? I will have a few copies of my new Gettysburg book to autograph for anyone who has not yet purchased a copy.

Licensed Battlefield Guide and well regarded writer and researcher Timothy H. Smith will present what should be a fascinating talk on "The Gettysburg Civilians" this upcoming Tuesday evening, January 8, at 7:30 p.m. in the Valentine Auditorium of the Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary. Take Route 30 through downtown Gettysburg and turn left as you crest Seminary Ridge (opposite the Lee's Headquarters museum / Appalachian Brewing Company). Parking and admission are free.

Why not make an evening of it and have a relaxing dinner in Gettysburg, drive around the battlefield to see the most recent tree cuttings, and then learn more about the residents and farmers during the summer campaign of 1863?
