Charlie Knight and I Will Give a Talk at Gettysburg 9:30 a.m. August 14, 2021

There will be a gathering of Savas Beatie authors at Gettysburg August 13-15, 2021.  Author Charlie Knight (Robert E. Lee's Civil War Day by Day) and I (The Petersburg Regiment) will discuss the movement of Mahone's brigade on July 2, 1863 as set forth in my article in July's Gettysburg Magazine entitled "The Myth that Mahone's Brigade Did Not Move on July 2, 1863."  The talk will take place at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, August 14, 2021, and will last about an hour.  I'm hoping to meet up near the marker for Ross's Battery (Sumter Artillery) on West Confederate Drive.  I should be able to point out the route of Mahone's brigade from there.  Copies of Gettysburg Magazine should be available at the Visitor Center and I'll bring copies of The Petersburg Regiment and I'll sign either for anyone who wishes to buy one.
