STARKVILLE — The last meeting of this season’s Starkville/Golden Triangle Civil War Roundtable will take place on Tuesday at the Golden Triangle Planning and Development Building, 106 Miley Drive.
There will be a time of fellowship beginning at 6 p.m. with the program beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The Civil War Roundtable’s last speaker of this season will add to a list of outstanding speakers, who have entertained our group and increased our knowledge of the Civil War.
The Roundtable is very excited to have Colonel (Ret.) James Garrett present a program entitled “A Look at the United States Army’s New Field Manual 3-90 Tactics and Forrest at Brice’s Crossroads,” which explores the recent U. S. Army publication concerning the decision making and actions of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest at the Battle of Brice’s Crossroads.
Colonel Garrett served on active duty as a judge advocate in the U.S. Army for just more than 28 years, with most of his service in the operational Army. He is a graduate of the Army War College, and his last assignment was as the dean of the Judge Advocate General’s School in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Jim is a native Mississippian, residing in north Mississippi. He is a graduate of Delta State and the University of Mississippi School of Law. He has conducted battlefield tours and military staff rides at several famous Civil War battlefields, such as Gettysburg and Antietam. He presently serves as the Brice’s Crossroads Foundation program director.
Please come and join us for an evening of fellowship and learning, and help us welcome Colonel James Garrett.
