on The New York City Draft Riots
The
Phil
Kearny
Civil
War
Round
Table
is
an
independent
historical
organization
which
focuses
on
the
American
Civil
War
period
(1861-1865)
studying
the
military, political and social effects during that period.
The
Round
Table
was
originally
formed
as
the
41st
New
Jersey
Infantry
Round
Table
meeting
at
a
Barnes
&
Noble
Book
Store
in
Woodland
Park,
NJ
over
twenty
five
years
ago.
As
we
grew
larger,
our
name
was
changed
to
honor
the
famed
one
armed
NJ
Civil
War
General
Phil
Kearny,
and we met in a larger venue at the Wayne Public Library.
Today,
PKCWRT
usually
meets
on
the
third
Wednesday
of
the
month
at
the
Hasbrouck
Heights
Municipal
Building
at
7:00pm
-
downstairs.
We
have
summers
off,
July
&
August
and reconvene in September.
All are welcomed to attend.
Historians,
authors
and
noted
experts
speak
on
specific
scholarly
Civil
War
topics
to
our
membership
with
questions and answers encouraged.
In
November,
the
Phil
Kearny
Round
Table
sponsors
an
annual
field
trip
to
a
Civil
War
battlefield,
where
licensed
guides educate and tour the battlefield with our members.
Membership,
which
helps
fund
expenses
for
the
Round
Table
and
pays
speaker
stipends,
is
$25
a
year
and
includes
membership
newsletters
of
recent
and
upcoming
events.
Also
in
December,
we
have
a
Holiday
Party,
where
a
noted
speaker
or
civil
war
musician
will
be
the
highlight
of
our
annual
dinner.
The
Round
Table
welcomes
everyone
and hopes you will join and become a supporting member.
The
Round
Table
is
named
after
New
Jersey
Civil
War
General
Philip
Kearny,
who
was
killed
at
the
Battle
of
Chantilly
in
September
1862.
The
town
of
Kearny,
New
Jersey was later named for the General.
