Additions to My Schedule at Gettysburg National Battlefield Park on August 14, 2021

There are some additions to my schedule at Gettysburg National Battlefield Park on August 14, 2021.

I'm still due to give a talk with Charlie Knight at 9:30 a.m. at the marker for Ross's Battery on West Confederate Drive about the movement of Mahone's brigade on the evening of July 2, 1863.

Additionally, I'll be on the authors panel moderated by my publisher Ted Savas at 4 p.m. August 14, 2021 at the Gettysburg Heritage Center.

At 5 p.m. I'll be remaining at the Heritage Center to sign any copies purchased of the July 2021 edition of Gettysburg Magazine, which contains my article, "The Myth that Mahone's Brigade Did Not Move on July 2, 1863" as well as copies purchased of my latest book, The Petersburg Regiment in the Civil War: A History of the 12th Virginia Infantry from John Brown's Hanging to Appomattox, 1859-1865 (Savas Beatie, 2019), winner of the 2019 Army Historical Foundation's Distinguished Writing Award for Unit History.
