The Chickamauga Study Group – Our March Gathering

Walker paintingSome of you may know that I have been leading a series of focused tours and battle walks at Chickamauga National Military Park every March. What I have taken to calling the CCNMP Study Group has been meeting for approximately 13 years now. Below are the details. I will periodically update information here and on my own site: Chickamaugablog.

CCNMP Study Group 2016 Seminar in the Woods:

Mission Statement: The purpose of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park Study Group is to create a forum to bring students of the American Civil War together to study and explore those events in the fall of 1863 that led ultimately to the creation of the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park.
