Lunch & Learn about the Civil War

Dr. John Fowler 
Dalton State Alumni Lunch & Learn
Thursday, May 12, from 12 noon to 1:00 p.m.
Gordon County Chamber of Commerce, 300 S. Wall Street, Calhoun, GA

Dr. John Fowler presents "'I cannot give the history of this campaign language to describe its suffering': The Confederate Struggle for Atlanta."
This program will be based on a chapter from Dr. Fowler’s new book, “The Breaking of the Heartland: The Civil War in Georgia,” that is due out this month.  “An examination of the Atlanta Campaign reveals a complex and debatable series of mysterious events and conflicting interpretations,” says Dr. Fowler. “Six questions are crucial to understanding the Confederate view of the campaign and analyzing the answers to these questions in order to develop a better understanding of what happened during what was arguably the single most important campaign of the entire war.”

Reservations and advance payment are required no later than Tuesday, May 10, at 12 noon. $8 for Dalton State alumni; $10 for the general public. RSVP to alumni@daltonstate.edu or call 706-272-2473.
