Civil War Mississippi Cruise
On a cruise from Memphis to New Orleans I gave seven lectures to passengers on the Queen of the Mississippi cruise ship. We started with a talk on the sultana tradegy of april 1865 just north of Memphis. Then we covered topics like ‘How the War Started; War in the West; Why the South Lost; and The Conspiracy Theories Surrounding the Murder of Abraham Lincoln; and The Battle for Vicksburg.
Of the 145 passengers 50 to 90 were usually in attendance. I accompanied them on land tours as well. It was great fun for me and the passengers seemed to enjoy my talks. www.civilwarnovels.com
