<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I'm excited to say that <a href="https://www.battlefields.org/contributors/gordon-c-rhea">Gordon Rhea</a> has signed on to guide a four-day battlefield tour next September that
will generally follow the course of action in his monumental pentalogy
from The Wilderness through Cold Harbor, and the initial assault at
Petersburg [<a href="https://tinyurl.com/y2pcnju6">LSU Press</a>].</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
Over the last 23 years I have facilitated group tours of a great many
Civil War sites—from the well-known to the obscure—but I'v<span class="text_exposed_show">e
never attempted the entirety of the Overland Campaign in a single
outing. I have pestered Gordon literally for years, and am gratified
that he did not block my email, and that his schedule eventually opened
up enough to allow him to settle on some dates. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
Though each of the unspeakably bloody battles in this complex campaign
warrants a multi-day tour of its own, we are crafting a meaningful and
coherent itinerary to do justice to the subject over four full days
(following an evening talk to set the stage). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I hope you'll
consider joining us. </span></span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is going to be a fantastic tour. You've got plenty of time to catch up on your reading. <br /><br />Here's the latest flyer for 2020 tours. It's going
to be a fun year, traipsing across Arizona on the trail of Cochise,
tracking the brief life of Billy the Kid in New Mexico, a return to Last
Stand Hill in Montana, and the great Grant-versus-Lee adventure in
Virginia. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">
Today, on St. Patrick's Day, as I continue preparations for our May 2-5
battlefield tour of Antietam, I was put in mind of the Irish Brigade
monument there. Regular visitors to the park know they can find it near
Bloody Lane, at the base of the stone Observation Tower. </span><br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;"> We will visit Bloody Lane and hear the story of the Irish Brigade and others in that pivotal moment of American history.

I love New Mexico—its history, people, and landscape—and though we could spend a week devoted to any number of subjects, this military history/war theme allows us to take a comfortable loop beginning and ending in Albuquerque, while time-traveling through very distinct eras of New Mexico history. In one picturesque, clockwise journey we’ll take in Civil War battles from the Confederate invasion of New Mexico—Valverde, and the Battle of Glorieta Pass, with a cast of colorful characters. Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, et. al., will feature prominently in our coverage of the Lincoln County War. Likewise, we will literally visit Ground Zero of the Cold War at the Trinity Test Site—where the United States detonated its first atomic weapon (this site is only open to the public on TWO days per year). Filling out our Cold War education will be visits to Manhattan Project National Historic Park, and the National Museum of Nuclear Science and History in Albuquerque. When we return to Albuquerque, the city's famous <a href="https://www.balloonfiesta.com/Event-Schedule">Balloon Fiesta</a> </span></span><span class="" style="color: black; font-family: "helveticaneue"; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-size: small;">will be getting underway—so come for the history, and stay for the balloons. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif;">"On a hot June Sunday in 1876, hordes of painted Indian warriors—perhaps as many as 4,000—swarmed over a treeless Montana ridge rising from the Little Bighorn River Valley. Five companies of U.S. Cavalry, about 215 blue-shirted troopers, contended briefly and hopelessly against overwhelming odds. When the guns fell silent and the smoke and dust of battle lifted, every soldier lay dead.</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif;">This was "Custer's Last Stand" the most spectacular triumph of the American Indian in his four-century struggle against the relentlessly advancing European civilization that finally crushed him. It forms a chapter of American history that has inspired intense study and provoked intense controversy, that has been chronicled endlessly in prose and verse and enacted time and again on motion picture and television screens, and that has earned a lasting place in the Nation's historical annals and popular folklore. In total defeat and death, Custer and his men achieved an immortality that even the most dramatic victory could not have won them." </span><span style="color: #8e8e8e; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif;"></span></blockquote>

As Chief Park Ranger at Shiloh today, Stacy's duties leave little time for full-scale tours, but we have secured his dedicated services for two, full-day outings to cover the battlefield (and environs) in detail. Don't miss this opportunity to take in one of America's most pristine and important military parks, and to gain a fuller understanding of an exceedingly complex battle in company with the nation's premier authority on Shiloh.</span></div>

commonplace during the next three years. The 20,000 killed and wounded at
Shiloh (about equally distributed between the two sides) were nearly double the
12,000 battle casualties at Manassas, Wilson’s Creek, Fort Donelson, and Pea

the country onto the floodtide of total war.” —James McPherson, </span><i style="color: blue; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.12px;">Battle Cry of Freedom</i></blockquote>

Last week, in Gettysburg, the good folks of the Civil War Forum—one of the earliest and most enduring online Civil War
Round Tables—held their 20<sup>th </sup>and last battlefield conference. Forty-some
folks gathered from far and wide—from San Francisco (yours truly) and Albuquerque,
from Toronto and Memphis, and many points in-between. It was a spectacular
weekend in the company of some stellar Licensed Battlefield Guides.</div>
