Hello GDG members,
 
With the kind permission of Dennis Lawrence, I am posting information about  
this upcoming conference in Nashville, TN on Saturday, march 10. 2007.
 
 
***Third  Annual Nashville Area Civil War Conference - March 10,  2007*** 
Travellers Rest Plantation and Museum will host the Third Annual  Nashville 
Civil War Conference on Saturday, March 10, 2007.  The all  day affair will 
begin at 9 AM and end at 4 PM.  A lunch is included with  the conference fee of 
$38 - which is wonderfully reasonable!  All events  will be held onsite and a 
tour of the ante-bellum home is also  included. 
The theme is Cavalry Operations of the Western Theater and speakers  include 
author/historian Eric Wittenberg on "Union Cavalry in the  West;" Myers Brown 
of the Tennessee State Museum and former director of the  Joe Wheeler Home in 
Alabama, speaking on "Joe Wheeler and Confederate  Cavalry in the West."  Also 
presenting programs are Brian Wills,  author/historian and biographer of 
Nathan Bedford Forrest on "Nathan Bedford  Forrest;" and Greg Biggs on "Turning 
The Tide: The Union Cavalry At the  Battle of Shelbyville."  An afternoon panel 
discussion concludes the  day. 
For an online registration form please visit  
www.travellersrestplantation.org and you can either mail in  your fee or do it by credit card.   
Hope that some of you can make this event!  The price is  certainly right! 
Greg Biggs
