Tim Smith Speaks at November 4 Round Table Meeting
At our 711th meeting on November 4, Prof. Timothy B. Smith spoke 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 who has addressed the Round Table several times over the years. He has authored numerous books and articles on Shiloh, the Vicksburg Campaign, Corinth and other battles in the Western Theater. Tim is an excellent scholar and an outstanding speaker. His presentations are always lively as well as informative. In 2015 Tim was the recipient of the Round Table's Richard Barksdale Harwell for his Shiloh: Conquer or Perish.
Our December speaker will be Perry Bennett, an Army Reserve Lieutenant
Colonel and former historian for the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson,
Colo., and former command historian for the 335th Signal Command. Perry will
