    The November Banquet Meeting
    The November meeting will be held at the Clarion Hotel, 3333 S Glenstone Ave, Springfield, MO on Friday the 14th at 6:30 pm and will feature Dr. Daniel E. Sutherland of the University of Arkansas.  His topic, "Guerrillas, Partisans, and Bushwhackers: Rethinking the American Civil War," is based on his forthcoming book, which will emphasize the all-encompassing nature of the guerrilla war (fought far more widely than people realize); the different types of guerrillas; their different roles in the war; and the profound influence that guerrillas had on the conduct of the general war.  Sutherland has earned nearly forty awards, grants, and honors, including research grants from American Association for State and Local History, National Endowment for the Humanities, and Mellon Foundation.  He has published or edited over a dozen Civil War related books and over fifty articles, essays, and book chapters.

  • The CWRT Ozarks Executive Committee formed a committee to study the possibility of placing a monument and/or interpretive display in Clever, Missouri, in anticipation of the 150th Anniversary of the nearby Battle/Skirmish at Dug Springs on August 2, 1861.  Members/officers who have volunteered to serve on the committee so far are:  Round Table Media Director  Len Eagleburger (Acting-Chair of committee), Missouri State University History Professor and author Dr. Bill Piston , Wilson's Creek National Battlefield Ranger (Hulston Library) Jeffrey Patrick, and Round Table Vice-President Steve Buffat.  David Stokely, of Clever, Mo., will be serving in an advisory position as site selector.  Civil War Round Table President Tom Debo will serve Ex-Officio. The action at Dug Springs was a prelude to the carnage created at the Battle of Wilson's Creek just eight days later on August 10th. Combined casualties totaled 125 killed or wounded. For more information or if you are willing to serve on the committee contact: Len Eagleberger at 417-863-1845 or leneagleburger@sbcglobal.net.
