The CWRT of New Hampshire meeting for February 20, 2026 meeting is re-scheduled to March 20, 2026.

Join us for the next meeting on Friday, March 20, 2026, at 7:15pm (doors open 6:45), at the Harvey-Mitchell Library, 151 Main St, Epping.

Our program for this meeting will be presented by Bill Halett, "Harry Gilmor's 1864 Maryland Raid."

In the summer of 1864, the outcome of the war was still far from certain, and in western Maryland, Jubal Early took Confederate troops near Frederick on their way to threaten Washington.

However, a side project of this campaign, was for Brigadier General Bradley T. Johnson, a local from Frederick, to go further into Maryland with a task of freeing POWs at Point Lookout.

While doing this, Johnson sent Col. Harry Gilmor, another local from near Towson, to wreak havoc across the northern regions of Baltimore and Harford Counties, severing connections to Baltimore City and thus, Washington.

Gilmor was very successful  in his efforts, even if neither Johnson nor Early were.

Bill Hallett, a former radio announcer, is a 30 year member of this Civil War Roundtable and a past president. He's also the author of Newburyport and the Civil War (History Press 2012) and a living historian/reenactor since the mid-1990s.

Please join us for this often neglected event in July 1864.

We are still looking for leadership in the RT. Please contact the board if you wish to become more involved.
