All around the country, there are treasured groups of like minded folks who are passionate about keeping the Civil War in the forefront of current and younger generations. The passion to share all aspects of the Civil War can be found at monthly meetings hosted by Civil War Round Table groups. As an Author Liaison, one of my favorite groups to contact and to work with are the Civil War Round Tables. I’m always coming across excited and anxious Program Directors or Presidents who are eager to host a Savas Beatie author whether it be for the current year or even a few years out. Sharing the history of our country is a ongoing goal for the Round Tables as it’s important to have it be passed down from generation to generation.
Civil War Round Tables are plenty in the Lone Star state of Texas, as next week author Larry Tagg will be in Texas presenting his book, “The Generals of Shiloh” at four Round Tables. Starting in Grandbury, TX, then Fort Worth TX, followed by Dallas TX and then finishing up in Austin, TX Larry’s tour is sure to be exciting and well received for all Civil War Round Table members and guests. For more information, visit the Savas Beatie website.
