From: Jennifer CS Brylinski, Round Table President Info about the April Meeting Meeting Date: Tuesday, April 16, 2019. Time: 7:30 P.M. Place: Bristol Glen, 200 Bristol Glen Drive, Newton, New Jersey (973-300-5788), enter through Main Entrance. The meeting is in the “Town Hall” room. “Six Pre-Civil War Moments that Could have Changed History,” a presentation by Jamie Malanowski We usually think of the Civil War as an inevitable clash between two cultures. But America’s tragic sectional conflict was actually the outcome of dozens of turning points; had something changed about any of them, the war might have looked very different. This talk looks at six moments that occurred between 1859 and 1861 that could have dramatically changed history. Jamie Malanowski has had an interest in the Civil War since his boyhood in Maryland at the time of the centennial. A writer and editor by trade, Jamie has worked at Esquire, Time, and other publications. In 2010, he persuaded The New York Times “to blog the Civil War”; the result was the award-winning Disunion, for which he served as lead writer for a year. From that series emerged his most recent book, Commander Will Cushing, Daredevil Hero of the Civil War, a biography of the naval hero William Cushing. He has also published two novels, co-written a screenplay that was produced by HBO, co-written a play that was produced Off-Broadway in New York and Los Angeles. Currently he serves as Senior Speechwriter for Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York. The Colonel Henry Ryerson Civil War Round Table provides educational programs, tours, and fellowship for individuals interested in the Civil War Era. Meetings are free and open to the public.

| THE COLONEL HENRY RYERSON CIVIL WAR ROUND TABLE Proudly Announces Its 15th ANNUAL ROUND TABLE DINNER!!! Location: The Lamp Post Inn 1601 County Road 565, Glenwood Road, Vernon, NJ (www.thelamppostinn.net – 973-875-9134) Date: Tuesday, May 21, 2019, Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM Come Join the Fun and Enjoy a Delicious Dinner at The Lamp Post Inn in their private fireplace room! Relish the Camaraderie of your Fellow Civil War Enthusiasts! Our special dinner guest speaker will be nationally renowned Dr. Bruce Chadwick who will be talking about “The Civil War Goes to the Movies”. Members and Non-members are invited! Dr. Chadwick will be talking about the great Civil War movies, such as “Gone with the Wind,” “Glory,” and “The Searchers” and discuss how all of them, together, helped to heal the wounds of the nation and bring North and South back together. Not surprisingly, most of the great Civil War movies were tied to anniversaries. The big surge of silent films was around 1910 – 1915 (50th anniversary of the conflict), “Gone with the Wind” was just after the 75th anniversary, and “Glory” was released at the 125th anniversary. As we will see, in most of these movies there is no real winner or loser, all the soldiers were courageous and America won the war. The presentation is full of action stories and a lot of humor, and will include a slide show. Dr. Bruce Chadwick is an experienced public speaker and has appeared all over the world and on various television networks (especially the History Channel) delivering talks on the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the history of forensics. He is the author of 30 books, most on history and some on forensics and crime investigations. Dr. Chadwick, a Syracuse University graduate, began his career as a reporter with the New York Daily News. He became a University professor in 1992 and teaches courses that range from the history of the American Revolution to Crime and Punishment, the History of Sports, and a course on the U.S. and the World. His latest book is Law and Disorder, published by MacMillan in the spring of 2017. He also works as a theater and film critic for the History News Network, the online magazine for history lovers. There, he reviews some 70 plays and movies each year, all focused on some aspect of history. He also reviews museum exhibits for the History News Network. We are so proud to be having Dr. Chadwick as our May Dinner Meeting speaker! Ticket Donation: $30.00 (Advance Ticket Purchase Required).
