The Fight for Smith's Ridge

Nov 11, 2009
7:30 pm In the Fall of 2008, Blue & Gray magazine published a special edition in commemoration of the 145th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Included is an outstanding article about a rarely mentioned portion of the Gettysburg battle where Ross County's own 73rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry fought. The ground where the action took place is now covered by 20th century development and all but forgotten. Join us for a fascinating evening as the author of that article, Gettysburg native and licensed battlefield guide Stuart Dempsey, brings that little noted, nor long remembered story about a small but deadly corner of the Civil War's greatest battle back to life.
