"Beast" Butler Is Topic of MCCWRT Discussion Group This Saturday, August 22
The McHenry County Civil War Round Table (MCCWRT) will have a discussion group meeting this Saturday, August 22, at the Panera Bread Co. store at 451 S. Randall Road in Algonquin, Illinois, from 10 am to noon or thereabouts.
It will be outside and everyone needs to wear a mask at all times unless eating or drinking. You know, that virus-thingie.
This month's topi is "The Beast." That would be Union General Benjamin Butler, a real character during the war. I put the meeting in my Civil War Navy blog because of his command at the First Battle of Fort Fisher. But, he also held commands at New Orleans and Newport News.
Everyone is welcome. Come on by.
The "Beast." --Old B-Runner
