Wednesday, February 12, 7:30 PM
Hilton Senior Center, 43 Lafayette Road, Salisbury, Mass.
This month’s meeting will feature two brief talks by Roundtable members.
“How Joshua Chamberlain Faced Down an Insurrection at the Maine State Capitol in 1880” and “The Role of the U.S. Marines in the Civil War.”
Joshua Chamberlain is most remembered for his heroic actions at Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg, but his leadership during twelve days in January of 1880 calming all factions in a disputed election may have been an even greater example of courage.
The February meeting will also include the annual election of officers and collection of dues. All are welcome to attend free of charge, but only members may vote in the election.
