The Civil Warriors Round Table will hold its
next meeting at 7PM on Wednesday,
November 13th, at Weilers Deli in West Hills,
CA. We will be hosting a double-header
presentation. Jana Bickel will talk on “The
Russian Fleet and the American Civil War”
and Dave Goracke will talk about “A Found
Letter.”
What role did the Russians play in the American
Civil War? How did the relationship between
Lincoln and Alexander affect the war? Did the
Russian Fleet help to save the Union or was their
arrival in America merely an unimportant good
will tour?
In the follow-up presentation Dave Goracke will talk
about a letter written by a Union officer describing the
plundering of South Carolina at the end of the War.
The letter’s important details will be described and
will be critiqued regarding their historical context.
Dave will then address some ongoing questions
regarding the authenticity of the letter.
Jana Bickel is a retired Federal employee of 37
years who loves history. Her interest in the Civil
War began when she learned that at least three of
her ancestors served in the Union Army during
the Civil War. She is interested in American
history from the colonial period to the
present especially as it relates to her own family
history.
Dave Goracke is the interim Program
Coordinator for the Civil Warriors. He became
interested in the Civil War while growing up in
northern Virginia. Dave has spoken many times to
local Civil War Round Tables and other historical
groups in Southern California.
As always, come join us before the program starts.
Our members start assembling around 6PM for
refreshments like the Weilers deli sandwich
dinner and for the camaraderie of their fellow
Civil Warriors. Meeting attendance is $5 which
