Civil War author Bradley Gottfried will present Lee Invades the North: A Comparison of the Maryland and Gettysburg Campaigns. Robert E. Lee invaded the North twice: First, in 1862 during the Maryland Campaign that culminated in the Battle of Antietam and again during the Pennsylvania Campaign in 1863 that ended with the retreat from Gettysburg. This fast-moving presentation will compare and contrast the two invasions, including why Lee invaded, the size and condition of the two armies, their organizations, logistical issues, the routes to the battlefields, the battles, a comparison of the casualties, and the aftermath. Gottfried will deploy a powerpoint presentation to illustrate his points. Mr. Gottfried will have several books available for purchase.

This presentation is free for members; $5 suggested fee for non-members.
