The Civil Warriors Civil War Round Table
will hold its next meeting of 2021 at 7PM
PDT on Wednesday, May 12, via Zoom. We
will be hosting an online presentation by
Frank Mitchell of the LA CWRT who will
talk about John Wilkes Booth and the
“Conspirators.”
“Conspirators” is a gripping story of the men
and women of the Lincoln assassination. Plus
you’ll encounter a handful of ancillary
characters that had a part to play in the full
story. You will learn their involvement and
what happened to them after the events.
Where did Booth go? Who helped him during
the escape? Which conspirator almost killed 5
people? Why didn’t Grant go to the theater
with the Lincolns? Who was a drunk and a
coward? Were others involved?
Frank Mitchell is an amateur historian who
got the history bug before entering junior
high and before graduating from Pepperdine.
With a collection of more than 3,000 books,
autographs (including George McClellan and
all of Lincoln’s cabinet and many of Davis’),
period newspapers, uniforms, and other
memorabilia he often draws upon these items
to enhance his historical presentations. His
presentations have covered topics on the
American Revolution through the Civil War
and up to Woodrow Wilson. He has also done
one man shows portraying such characters as
Nathanael Greene and John Hartranft. He
likes to invite people to listen to his
presentations more than once as there is so
much history to tell that each time he talks it
is a little different – you learn something new.
We will be meeting via the Zoom meeting
app. We will send out the meeting on-line
connection information shortly before our
meeting day (5/12/21). Please plan on
beginning your hookup a few minutes before
the 7PM PDT meeting time. If you are a first
time visitor to the Civil Warriors, please
contact us at cwrtsfv@gmail.com for
information regarding the hookup. Guests,
new members and returning members are
always welcome to join us for this and future
meetings! If you can’t make this meeting,
please consider one of our exciting upcoming
meetings noted in our Future Presentations
section.
Our Round Table ordinarily meets at Weilers Deli
at 22323 Sherman Way, West Hills. Due to the
COVID-19 restrictions imposed by civil
authorities, the Civil Warriors will be unable to
meet face-to-face for an indeterminate period and
will use on-line means such as the Zoom app to
continue our monthly educational get-togethers.
