The Atlanta Civil War Round Table is pleased to announce that it has chosen D. Scott Hartwig as the winner of the 2024 Richard Barksdale Harwell Award for his I Dread the Thought of the Place: The Battle of Antietam and the End of the Maryland Campaign. The Round Table presents the Harwell Award annually for the best book on a Civil War subject published in the previous year. The Round Table has presented this prize each year since 1989.

The award-winning book was published by the Johns Hopkins University Press.

Hartwig was the supervisory park historian at the Gettysburg National Military Park for twenty years. He previously authored To Antietam Creek: The Maryland Campaign of September 1862.

The Round Table is now accepting nominations for the 38th award to be presented in 2025. Nominations must be received by December 31, 2024. Please see the submission guidelines for more information.

WE'RE MOVING

Starting in September, the Round Table will hold its monthly meetings at the Atlanta History Center. After surveying the members and considering the various options, the Executive Committee determined that the History Center is most convenient for our members and will enable us to provide you the best experience at a lower price than we are currently charged. We will send more information as the date of the change approaches.

The February meeting was Presidents Night, the annual event at which the Round Table recognizes all the past presidents. Pictured below are those who attended the February meeting.

Top Row, L-R: Gould Hagler, David Beale, Penn Templeman, Terry Kingery, Brian Wills, Bruce Stewart, David Vaughan, Robert Fugate (Current President); Bottom Row: Mary-Elizabeth Ellard, J.D. Humphries, Barbara Long, Michael Behan, Grady Ireland, Emmett Hall, Vicky Frolich
