Join the Southern Indiana Civil War Roundtable (SICWRT) on Thursday, March 20, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. for an engaging presentation by historian and author Kevin McCray. The meeting will take place at the Evansville Fraternal Order of Police (801 Court Street, Evansville, IN).

McCray’s lifelong passion for the Civil War began in the early 1960s during the conflict’s centennial, sparked by a gift from his father—The American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War. A dedicated researcher and writer, he has authored multiple works, including A Shouting of Orders, a history of the 99th Ohio Volunteer Infantry Regiment, and his latest book, Without Bugle or Drum.

In this presentation, McCray will explore the forgotten battles of Milton’s Vaught’s Hill and Liberty’s Snow Hill, fought in Middle Tennessee in March and April 1863 during the longest period of inactivity in the war. These engagements, involving Confederate cavalry commander John Hunt Morgan, played a crucial yet often overlooked role in the Union’s efforts to hold ground after the Battle of Stones River. Through firsthand accounts, McCray brings these battles to life and examines their impact on the larger conflict in the region.

This event is free and open to the public. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from a distinguished Civil War historian and deepen your understanding of this pivotal time in American history!
