Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable April Meeting

   On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, the Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable will host Lynn Herman, speaking on “The New Mexico Campaign & Glorieta Pass.” This 1862 campaign was the Confederacy’s attempt to conquer the
Southwest, including the occupation of Tucson, and a century later served
as the basis for the famous film 'The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.'
  Lynn Herman is a well-known public historian on the Civil War, appearing on C-Span History TV, BBC, and at many Civil War Roundtables, as well as being president of the Central Pennsylvania Civil War Roundtable. Mr. Herman is also a re-enactor. From 1982 to 2006 he represented Pennsylvania’s 77th District in the State House of Representatives.
  The lecture will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Copper Auditorium located on the lower level of the Civic Center branch of the Scottsdale Public Library, 3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd., Scottsdale. The doors will open at 5:00 p.m. and
provide an opportunity to meet the speaker, browse our book sale, and
view a Civil War video in the Auditorium. Parking is free at the adjacent
sub-level covered parking garage accessible off northbound Drinkwater
Blvd.
