The next meeting of the Middle Tennessee Civil War Round Table will be at Belmont Mansion in Nashville on Wednesday November 16, 2005. We will begin at 7:30 PM. This will be a joint meeting with our friends from the Battle of Nashville Preservation Society and the Wilson County Civil War Round Table.

Our featured speaker is Dr. Richard McMurry. He will be comparing and contrasting the Army of Northern Virginia and the Army of Tennessee. This program is based on Dr. McMurry’s book, Two Great Rebel Armies.

Dr. McMurry is a native of Atlanta, Georgia. He is a graduate of the Virginia Military Institute (B.A. in History), and Emory University (M.A. and Ph. D.) He is also veteran of the United States Army. Dr. McMurry taught history at Valdosta State College and North Carolina State University from 1967 to 1988. Since then he has been a freelance writer and speaker.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet one of the most accomplished Civil War historians of our time. Admission is free.
