Friday, August 9 | 12:00pm – 1:00pm | Speaker: Lance Herdegen
The Iron Brigade’s opening battle came August 28, 1862 on the John Brawner farm near Gainesville, Virginia. The story has been told before, but never from a fog of war view with one author writing of the Union side and another from the Confederate. There is much to learn about command decisions both successful and failures. Lance Herdegen, who wrote the Iron Brigade account, tells what he discovered.
