Field Trip

We are going to the Carolinas to learn about the Civil War’s last major campaign that took place in March and April of 1865 culminating in the surrender of the Confederacy’s last major army.

The campaign pitted William Sherman against Joseph Johnston. Our guide will be Civil War historian and author Wade Sokolosky.

Wade was recently named the new Executive Director of the Blue and Gray Educational Society.  He is a retired colonel and a 25-year veteran of the U.S. Army.   He is a respected historian and the author of four books with more on the way.  Wade has been leading battlefield tours for many years and is recognized as an authority on the Civil War battles in the Carolinas. Wade will be coming to the Round Table to speak to us this December.

April 22-26, 2026

The Carolinas: Sherman's 1865 Campaign

This is a field trip we have never taken and we will see several well preserved battlefields including Averasboro, Monroe’s Crossroads,  Wise’s Forks and Bentonville.  We will also see the ironclad CSS Neuse and many other historical sites along the way.  We will be staying in Smithfield, North Carolina. We will walk this hollowed ground and cover in detail what unfolded. 

We will begin taking signups in November 2025.  If you have any questions, you can email John Davis at jddavis1122@gmail.com.
