January Meeting Will Feature Talk On Nathan Bedford Forrest

          At our January meeting, our speaker will be Dr. Brandon Beck, Lt Commander of the Caledonia Rifles SCV Camp 2140 in Mississippi, who will present a talk on another great Confederate, General Nathan Bedford Forrest.  Dr. Beck is a retired college professor and Director of the Civil War Institute at Shenandoah University, Winchester, Virginia.  He is an author of ten books on WBTS history, including one on General Forrest and the Battle of Okolona, and a recent one on General Cullen Battle and the Third Alabama Infantry, published by the University of Alabama Press.  He says he enjoys doing these presentations as a part of the SCV's educational mission, so bring a friend and expect to be educated.
