Kris has authored or co-authored several books on the Civil War, including A Trip to Hell: The Battles of Second Fredericksburg and Salem Church.

Our speaker next month Wayne Motts, President Emeritus of the Gettysburg Foundation, whose topic will be "Georgia at Gettysburg." You can register for the February 3 meeting by using the pay button to the left or you may mail a check ($45) to:
