Campaign to Chickamauga at August Round Table
On Sunday, Aug. 12 at 3 p.m., the Franklin Civil War Round Table will host Chickamauga National Park Ranger Jim Ogden, who will present his interactive “Campaign to Chickamauga.”
The Battle of Chickamauga is considered by many to be a lost opportunity for the Confederacy when Confederate forces defeated the Federals in an epic battle just south of Chattanooga. To many students of the Civil War, it is one of the more complex battles to follow and understand. Ranger Ogden will give a unique and exciting opportunity to view this battle through the use of a giant floor map where participants will “walk” the battlefield without leaving the meeting facility.
The event is free to the public. The Franklin Civil War Round Table is an educational program of Franklin’s Charge and meets each month at the Franklin Police Department’s Community Room at 900 Columbia Ave.
For information contact Greg Wade at greglwade@yahoo.com, or visit www.franklinscharge.com/round-table.
