JUNE MEETING
On Wednesday June 16, 2010 at 7:30 pm the SDCWRT will hold its 286th meeting at Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St., San Diego, CA 92120.
Our speaker this month is Mary Townsend whose new book: “Yankee Warhorse: The Unknown General”, is a biography of Peter Joseph Osterhaus. This book is dedicated to preserving the German immigrant’s remarkable story of service to his adopted country. In spite of his solid contributions to the Union successes in the West throughout the Civil War, Major General Osterhaus remains virtually unknown to most people studying the war today. During this program you will learn some of the fascinating details of his long life in both of his countries. His life and military career will be followed by a presentation of one of his battles.
