Wayne Mott Speaks at  February Round Table Meeting

Our speaker on February 3 was Wayne Motts, President Emeritus of the Gettysburg Foundation, whose topic was "Georgia at Gettysburg." 

Wayne told the story of five of the 13,000 Georgians who fought at Gettysburg, a brigadier general, three lower ranking officers and one enlisted man.  The presentation focused not on the big picture of the huge, three-day battle, but rather on the personal experiences of these five men, their families, their pre-war lives, their service in the Confederate army and - for those who survived - their post-war lives.  

Wayne is the author or co-author of two Civil War books. Trust in God and Fear Nothing is a biography of Confederate General Lewis A. Armistead, who was mortally wounded at Gettysburg.  He co-authored, with James A. Hellser, Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg: A Guide to the Most Famous Attack in American History.

Wayne  has been a licensed battlefield guide at the Gettysburg National Military Park for 36 years.

Our March speaker  will be Scott Hartwig, this year's winner of the Richard Barksdale Harwell Award.  Scroll down for more information.
