Part of the 2008 Sunday lecture series organized by the Brandy Station Foundation. Richard Deardoff will talk about the "Atlanta Campaign". General U.S. Grant's plan to defeat the Confederacy in 1864 involved maintaining continuous pressure on the South in the various war theaters to prevent them from sending reinforcements to threatened areas. While Grant directed the campaign against General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia, his friend and commander of the Western theater, General William Tecumseh Sherman, went after General Joe Johnston and the City of Atlanta. Richard will describe the series of manuevers and the counter maneuvers between Chattanooga and Atlanta, and the eventual Union victory that will assure President Abraham Lincoln's re-election and mark the start of the "march to the sea".

Part of the 2008 Sunday lecture series organized by the Brandy Station Foundation. Bud Hall will talk about the Union Executions at Beverly Ford. On August 29, 1863 five men were executed for desertion near Beverly Ford. All were illiterate, foreign-born men who collected their enlistment bounty and deserted without ever reporting to their unit, the 118th Pennsylvania Volunteers, the famous Corn Exchange Regiment. Two of the men were Catholics, one was Jewish, and two were Protestants. A priest, a rabbi and a chaplain counseled the doomed men. This was one of the first, if not THE first, ecumenical services in the U.S. The entire 5th Corps, 15,000 men, observed the executions from a nearby hill.

| Description: |
Part of the 2008 Sunday lecture series organized by the Brandy Station Foundation. Brian McEnany joins us for the first time to share a history of West Point at the Outset of the War class of 1862. With the secession of the Southern states and the firing on Ft. Sumter, the cadets in the West Point class of 1862 had divided loyalties. Should they choose to defend their families and states or bear allegiance to the Union they had sworn to uphold? Brian will tell the story of the Class by describing how it reacted to the beginnings of the war, the impact of resignations by half the class, and how these events created a group of cadets with strongly held beliefs in support of the Union. This extraordinary group of young men would have a continuing impact of the U.S. Army for years to come.
A tax deductible donation of $5 for adults is suggested. |

| Description: |
The Culpeper Sprint began in 2005 to a sold out crowd. Embraced by the town this race has continued to grow and evolve into one of the most popular races in the VTS. After a 750 meter swim in Mountain Run Lake athletes ride the rural country roads of Culpeper County on a great course that is technical at times but has some great straightaways to drop the hammer on. The run is all on road and goes down and up the famed Montelago hill for a challenging 5K course. See the Set-up Events website for registration information. |
