| Paul Brueske was entertaining and obviously knew his stuff about the Mobile Campaign and the people associated with it. He is a good speaker. He is President of the Civil War Round Table in Mobile and the track and field head coach for the Univ of South Alabama. I could have gotten you a signed cop... |

A general question for those visiting the MDT -
At which battle was Lee's ANV at its zenith? When were they the toughest, meanest, best led, and most unbeatable army?
Feel free to vote in the poll and post your reasons as well. |

He knows the subject matter and is likely one of the authorities on the Campaign, that's for sure. It'd be interesting to hear him give a lecture on the topic.
Let us know how the Round Table goes. |

| I see Timothy B. Smith's five-part series on Vicksburg and all I can think is... that's a lot of reading on a campaign that could probably be summed up in one decent sized volume - two volumes at most. Gordon Rhea's series on the Overland Campaign was very well done and I have no problem reading al... |

I'm proud to announce that the Army of the Potomac mustered at 100% in July.
Excellent! High mustering rates are a sign the members of our club are actively checking their inboxes and responding to their Army Commanders. Hopefully it means they are playing more games as well  |

| A few more of my book reviews for anyone interested. I recently read two books on the Mobile Campaign of 1865. One title was on sale on Kindle for $2.99 and the other I had bought about six months ago. I figured I'd read both because each was pretty short. Why not? I didn't realize until after I st... |

| The first "battlefield" I recall was when I was about 10 years old. We were driving to St. George Island, Florida, for vacation and dad decided to take a detour. This was long before GPS or cell phones of course. As were driving through Apalachicola (the panhandle of Florida) we enter an ... |

How many of you remember the first Battlefield you visited as a kid? Where was it?
And didn't the battlefields seem huge when you were a kid. |
