Civil War Explorer Post 1863

Hello Explorers. I must first apologize for some things. Primarily, I am sorry that I could not attend the July meetings. I was on vacation, and at Music Camp. I promise my attendance will be immaculate through January. Secondly, sorry for not using this blog in months! I'll just blame it on that sense of lethargy that seems to grip us over summer. I am very excited for Post as autumn approaches. We are involved in a variety of activities in the next few months. We have a speaker at the last meeting in September, and hope to hold a debate sometime in October or November on the right of the South to secede, involving distinguished historians from the community. In addition, the annual Historical Society event is swiftly approaching on September 23-24. The theme this year is 1861; Buchanan's return to Wheatland. We also have Remembrance Weekend to look forward to, as well as our Christmas Ball. Finally, we have been asked to attend some Post events as well as dance for the Civil War Roundtable this autumn (these will be covered at the upcoming meetings). I look forward to this autumnal chapter of the Post, and hope to see all of you at the events/meetings!

Garth Libhart,
President
