November2024
Dr. Mitchell G. Klingenberg will be giving a program titled: “Reynolds of Gettysburg: History, Legend, and Myth.”
Remembered for his last command at Gettysburg, Major General John Fulton Reynolds has endured in Civil War lore as a monumental figure. His death at the head of the Union First Corps on July 1, 1863, produced a legend that transcended an admirable career of U.S. Army service.
An able tactician and a competent commander at corps, Reynolds was the proverbial cream of the old Army and U.S.Army of the Potomac crop when Union forces checked Robert E. Lee’s Pennsylvania invasion in 1863.

Honoring Our Members Who Are Veterans
As announced by Gary Nevius at the July dinner meeting, the Civil War Round Table of Kansas City plans to honor all of our members and their spouses who have served in the military. Prior to the dinner meeting Dr. Dan Cudnik, Jill Jaworski, Father Dave Holloway, Dave Pattison, and Gary Nevius met to develop a plan for honoring our veterans. The first step will be to e-mail all of our members, requesting that they provide information regarding their service if they are veterans. Members who have or had spouses that are veterans should also provide their spouse’s service information. The intent is to honor our veterans at the dinner meeting on November 20th.
