SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Civil War Railroads and Their Tactics
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, December 12  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Charlie Banks \nOne of the aspects that makes the American Civil War one of the first modern wars was the use of railroads. Railroads were vital lifelines for armies because they were the fastest and most efficient way to transport soldiers and supplies. Because of this\, major campaigns such as Chattanooga\, Atlanta\, Richmond\, Petersburg\, and Corinth were fought within 20 miles of a rail line or major rail hub. Mr. Banks’ presentation will show how railroads brought about changes to military logistics and tactics that carried on to the major conflicts that followed the Civil War. \nCharles (Charlie) Banks is a member of the  Northern Illinois Civil War Round Table and a founding member of the McHenry County Civil War Round Table. He has a deep interest in the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and its subsidiaries. Besides his interests in the Civil War\, he also enjoys antiquing with his wife\, Mary\, and building his model railroad.

SUMMARY:Civil War Media Club: The Mexican-American War Experiences of Twelve Civil War Generals
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 9  |  6:30pm – 8pm  |  Instructor: Doug Dammann  |  $8 ($10 for non-members)  |  Register Here \nLong overshadowed by the American Civil War\, the Mexican-American War (1846–1848) has received significantly less attention from historians\, partly because of its questionable origin and controversial outcome. The contributors to this volume\, however\, argue that the Mexican-American War was a formative experience for the more than three hundred future Civil War generals who served in it as lower-grade officers. The Mexican War was the first combat experience for many of them\, a laboratory that equipped a generation of young officers with practical lessons in strategy\, tactics\, logistics\, and interpersonal relationships that they would use later to command forces during the Civil War. \nMedia Club attendees are encouraged to read the book before meeting and come prepared to share their views and opinions on it in an open forum.

SUMMARY:P.H. Sheridan vs G.K. Warren: Five Forks–and a Knife in the Back
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 19  |  6pm – 8pm  |  Instructor: Robert Girardi  |  $20 ($25 for non-members)  |  Register Here \nIn the closing days of the siege of Petersburg in 1865\, Phil Sheridan and Gouverneur K Warren were engaged in overlapping offensive operations. Warren seized the White Oak Road while Sheridan got bloodied at Dinwiddie Court House. Warren was ordered to support Sheridan\, while Sheridan was authorized by U.S. Grant to relieve Warren if he so chose. Sheridan did just that\, only moments after the two won the Battle of Five Forks. Sheridan then accused Warren of being reluctant to fight. It took Warren 17 years to get justice. \nThe two generals could not be more different in personality\, character\, and education. Both graduated from West Point and\, in the pre-war years\, had decidedly different careers. When circumstances brought them together in 1864 during the Overland Campaign\, a series of clashes between them ignited the spark that would result in Warren’s relief from command a year later. This is a study of two men\, their interactions\, and the abuse of power.

SUMMARY:Second Friday Lecture: Opening Manassas: The Iron Brigade\, Stonewall Jackson\, and the Battle on Brawner’s  Farm\, August 28\, 1862
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 14  |  12pm – 1pm  |  Presented by: Lance Herdegen \nIn the fading light of August 28\, 1862\, an untested Union brigade of Wisconsin and Indiana men fought an unexpected 90-minute stand-up clash with the Confederate veterans of Stonewall Jackson on the Virginia farm fields of John Brawner. None of them knew the immediate prelude to the far bloodier Battle of Second Manassas (Bull Run) had begun. Herdgen’s new study utilizes a “fog of war” approach to unfold the battle as the soldiers of the Iron Brigade would have experienced it\, and how various officers reacted with only the information they had at the time. His new study uses an original methodology to uncover unexpected insights into the engagement and the leadership decisions of the brigade.
