The Zanesville Civil War Roundtable meets once a month for a presentation and discussion of a Civil War topic. Usually, a visiting speaker, sometimes and author or historian, will lead the program. The ZCWRT is open to anyone with an interest in history that would like to learn about our past. Come join us.

Our speaker will be Author/Historian Dan Masters. Dan will present to us the “Battle of Stones River”.

Dan is the descendant of four Union veterans of the Civil War, and has been deeply involved in the study of that conflict since the late 1990s. He has written seven books, numerous articles, and more than 580 blog posts about the Civil War, much of it focusing on the contributions made by Ohioans. His third book, Sherman's Praetorian Guard, won a local history publication award in 2018. In addition to regularly writing on his blog Dan Masters' Civil War Chronicles, he is currently working on a campaign study about the Stones River campaign and recently released the first in a three volume trilogy entitled Echoes of Battle: Annals of Ohio's Soldiers in the Civil War. Dan currently lives in Perrysburg, Ohio with his wife Amy and five of their six children while his oldest son is currently serving in the U.S. Air Force.
