Civil War Summer Lecture Series

Jim Rosebrock is the Chief of the Antietam Battlefield Guides. Jim is a retired army officer and currently works for the Department of Justice. He is currently conducting research for a book that will tell the story of the regular artillery companies during the Civil War.

On Wednesday, July 6th Jim Rosebrock will present his  Summer Lecture Series talk “Young Guns at Antietam”.  “Young Guns at Antietam” is the story of six young artillery officers, three Union and three Confederate who fought at the Battle of Antietam. The talk will focus on their lives before the battle and the role that they had in the action at Antietam.

Come join leading historians, Antietam Battlefield Guides, NPS volunteer interpreters and living history presenters as they discuss intriguing topics of the Maryland Campaign of 1862 and the Civil War during our Civil War Summer Lecture Series.
