The next meeting of the Middle Tennessee CWRT will be at 7 PM on Tuesday April 15, 2008 at Bradley Academy. This meeting will feature one of our famous group discussions entitled Four-Legged Fighters: A Discussion of the Role of Animals in the Civil War.

From pets and mascots to beasts of burden, animals played a critical role in the course and outcome of the Civil War. To be blunt, without animals, humans could not have fought the war. Despite the title, the floor will be open to discussion and the sharing of stories that highlight the importance of all animals to the physical and mental well being of soldiers in the field.

The Middle Tennessee Civil War Round Table meets every third Tuesday of the month at Bradley Academy, located on Academy Street in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Membership applications are available at each meeting. Membership costs $10 per year for individuals and $15 for families. All meetings are open to the public regardless of membership status. Each meeting will include time for interested parties to share stories and memorabilia from the Civil War era with the membership.
