Chris Mackowski Speaks at Oct. 7 Round Table Meeting
Our October speaker was Chris Mackowski, who made a dynamic and informative presentation on the Battle of Spotsylvania, the topic of his latest book, Tempest of Iron and Lead: Spotsylvania Court House. Co-founder & Chief Editor of Emerging Civil War, Chris is associate dean for undergrad programs and a writing professor in the Jandoli School of Communication at St. Bonaventure University in Allegany, N.Y. He leads tours at the Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania battlefields. As he did in his previous visit to the Round Table, Chris turned the meeting room into a battlefield and enlisted the attendees into the combating armies as he described the fighting in this pivotal Civil War battle.
Our November 4 speaker will be Timothy Smith, another 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 Sydney Johnston.
