Upper Lake >> The September edition of the Redwood Empire Civil War Roundtable will be exploring the topic of the social and economic aspects of Reconstruction on Monday starting at 6:15 p.m., at the Tallman Hotel in Upper Lake.
Janis Traub, a local amateur historian, will lead the presentation by use of a multimedia slide presentation. This will be the second part of Traub’s review of Reconstruction, the first being on the political aspects of Reconstruction, given in July.
In addition, to Traub’s presentation, a brief discussion on the CSS Shenendoah, the last Confederate military entity to give up, will cover that ship’s career and how it threatened to bomb San Francisco, 150 years ago last month.
The Civil War Roundtable meets once a month to discuss topics related to that war, and is attempting to review the war month by month. The group was founded to coincide with the sesquicentennial of the conflict. Topics are presented for novice and expert alike. Future topics will expand to include some topics related to World War One, as we observe the centennial of that conflict.
Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
