OCTOBER PROGRAM
On Wednesday October 20th at 7:30 pm the SDCWRT will hold its 290th meeting at Palisades Presbyterian Church, 6301 Birchwood St., San Diego, CA 92120
Our program for the evening will be looking at the Confederacy’s most famous General, Robert E Lee. San Diego Civil 
War Round Table member, Rich Marcell, will present, “Another Look at Robert E Lee.” The history of the Civil War speaks of the accomplishments of Robert E Lee. There are few individuals in American history more highly regarded than Robert E Lee. There is controversy though, as historian’s debate his reputation as part of the “Lost Cause” justification and image of the South during the war. Rich will discuss Lee through his writings, the comments of those that served with him, and the scholarly review of his greatness.
You won’t want to miss this program because as he has in the past Rich always leaves you thinking by the end of the night.
