Message From the President, Stephen Goldman, MD
April -- June, 2006
For the North Jersey Civil War Round Table, 2006 has gotten off to a terrific start.- To date we've had Dr. Bradley Gottfried's excellent presentation on the First New Jersey Brigade and our own Norman Tomlinson's scholarly discussion of Civil War literature and diaries. In addition, the year's inaugural panel discussion of whether the War was inevitable was distinguished by the superb research of general members Endre Krajcsovics, Rob Gagnon, Tom Hopler and Dennis Kelly.
- The presentations that lead to our summer hiatus promise to continue our banner year:
