Greencastle Civil War Round Table newsletters

 Collection — Folder: S0033
Identifier: S0033

Scope and Contents

"The Long Roll," which is the name of the newsletter, was created by Emmaline Rust Henry (1921-2010), a faithful member of the club. She wrote a column entitled "Ricochets." The first meeting of the West Central Civil War Round Table was May 22, 1984 with 15 attendees. Dick and Wilda Skidmore and Steve and Brenda Pierson were the two couples who had the idea of a Civil War club in Greencastle, after they attended a meeting of the Indianapolis Civil War Round Table. The newsletter had articles about the Civil War as well as reprints, coming events, questions, and club news.
