The MCCWRT (MCCWRT) will hold its monthly meeting this Tuesday, May 14, at the Woodstock Public Library at 414 W. Judd Street in Woodstock, Illinois.
It will be both in person and via ZOOM from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The speaker will be Ed Urban about the Ellet Raid at Vicksburg. This will involve the Mississippi Marine Brigade which was a Union Army amphibious unit which included the United States Ram fleet (hence the naval aspect).
The brigade was commanded by Brigadier General Alfred W. Ellet and operated in coordination with the Mississippi River squadron.
All are invited to a pre-meeting get-together for dinner or snacks at 3 Brothers Restaurant in Woodstock on Illinois Highway 47.
Come On By. --Old B-Runner
