Tim Smith to Speak at November 4 Meeting

Our speaker at his 2023 visit to the Round Table, with  President Loran Crabtree                          

Our November speaker will be Prof. Timothy B. Smith, an outstanding scholar and author on a return visit to Atlanta. Tim will speak on the topic of his most recent work, The Iron Dice of Battle, a survey of the life and career of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston.  This study is first work to survey the general's career in detail in nearly sixty years, and builds on recent scholarship to provide a new and incisive assessment of Johnston's life, his Confederate command, and the effect his death had on the course of the Civil War in the West.

Tim is a professor of history at the University of Tennessee at Martin. He has authored numerous books and articles on Shiloh, the Vicksburg Campaign, Corinth and other battles in that theater.

In 2015 Tim was the recipient of the Round Table's Richard Barksdale Harwell for his Shiloh: Conquer or Perish.
