Brunswick Civil War Round Table
Ed Bearss Speaks To Full House At
Civil War Round Table
January
16, 2012 - Southport, NC - A record audience of over
300, including 37 new member sign-ups, braved a stormy
evening to attend the
Brunswick Civil War Round Table meeting on
Wednesday, January 11, at the Brunswick County Senior
Center to hear special guest Ed Bearss. His amazing
knowledge of the Civil War and his incomparable style
captivated his audience as he spoke for almost ninety
minutes on one of the most fascinating and interesting
relationships during the war between the president and
his commander of all Union armies. Bearss presentation
was entitled: "President Lincoln and General McClellan:
A Troubled Partnership." He vividly explained in great
detail the stormy relationship Lincoln had with
McClellan throughout the war, and eventually dismissed
him as Union army commander on November 5, 1862.
The Round Table holds
monthly meetings, always with an invited special guest
historian, author, educator, or Civil War re-enactor
speaking on some aspect of the Civil War. Whether one is
a Civil War buff, or simply interested in this important
period in our history, audiences always find these
presentations informative and entertaining. Everyone is
welcome. Guests are encouraged to become members of this
growing non-profit organization.
