CWRTWM April 2023 Membership Meeting

Program:  “J.O. Shelby's 1864 Raid", program by Sam Gill.

Sam comes to us as a long-time member of the Independence Civil War Study Group.  He is a student of Shelby’s raid and authored an article on it in a prominent Civil War magazine.  Following the Battle of Prairie Grove, the Confederates were forced to use cavalry to prevent the capture of all of Arkansas.  Sam will describe the events and explain how Shelby overcame numerous challenges in what is widely considered the most successful cavalry raid in the Trans-Mississippi.

Visitors are always welcome.

Refreshments served.

The Village Heights Community of Christ Fellowship Hall is located just off 24 Highway and east of Highway 291 about five blocks. Turn north on Farview when you see the Hardee’s restaurant.  The church is located at the fork of the street, and there is plenty of parking on the east side of the building.  Masks are no longer required in Independence, but you are welcome to wear one if you wish.
