The Civil War Round Table of Toronto is a gathering of people interested in the American Civil War. Our meetings are cordial occasions on which members and others make presentations and participate in discussions on all aspects of the Civil War.

Membership is open to all Civil War buffs. Your interest, not your knowledge, is the key criterion for membership.

Members participate in presentations and discussions, but making a presentation is entirely voluntary. Our goal is to gather people of similar interests for lively and thought-provoking occasions.

Meeting Schedule

We are looking for more presentations . . . so would you like to give one? Presentations can be up to an hour in length. We also hold “campfires” when several members give very short presentations of 10-15 minutes – typically trip reports or book reviews. So please give it some thought and see if you would like to make a presentation sometime during 2020.

Our next events:

PLEASE NOTE: Our May events have been proactively cancelled due to the pandemic.

· On Wednesday, September 23, noted Civil War mapmaker and CWRT member Kieran McAuliffe will present his new map of Civil War Washington.

· In October (date TBD), author Ronald Blair from Kentucky will present his book “Wild Wolf: The Great Civil War Rivalry”.

Future events:

· Bruce Kenchington on the Battle of Vicksburg 1863.

· John Rosolak in defence of General McClellan.

· 2021 – Shauna Devine of Western on medicine.

All meetings begin at 7:30pm.

 

Thanks to all our members and guests for your support of the Civil War Round Table in our 10th year.

Our forthcoming year runs from September 2017 through June 2018. New presentations and dates will be announced once finalized.

Would you like to make a presentation?

We always welcome presentations. Besides full-length presentations of 45 to 60 minutes, we should plan a campfire consisting of several shorter presentations – 5 minutes or more. If you’ve visited a Civil War site or read a good civil war book, that would be a perfect subject for a campfire presentation. Just chat with John Rosolak (jrosolak@rogers.com) or Jim Lutz (lutz@ceoexpress.com) if you’re thinking of a subject you would like to talk about.

All meetings begin at 7:30pm at the Royal Canadian Military Institute, 426 University Avenue on the west side, just south of Dundas Street.

The membership fee for the 2017-2018 season remains $75. You may pay in cash or by cheque payable to “Doug Hope”. Guests are always welcome at any meeting without charge.
