Civil War Round Table to host Stones River presentation

STATE COLLEGE — The Central Pennsylvania Civil War Round Table will host a presentation on the Battle of Stones River at its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 2, in the Activities Room at South Hills School of Business & Technology, 480 Waupelani Drive.

Featured speaker Dan Masters of Perrysburg, Ohio, will present “Pennsylvania at the Battle of Stones River,” examining the pivotal Civil War battle fought in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, from Dec. 31, 1862, to Jan. 2, 1863. The battle is noted for having one of the highest casualty rates of any major Civil War engagement.

A graduate of the University of Toledo, Masters is the descendant of five Union veterans and has authored 15 books on Civil War history. His most recent work, Hell by the Acre: A Narrative History of the Stones River Campaign, received awards from both the Atlanta Civil War Round Table and the Mahoning Valley Civil War Round Table.

The meeting is open to members and anyone interested in learning more about the organization. For more information, contact Central PA Civil War Round Table President Lynn Herman at 814-880-2272.
