Former President Howard Simon (A Surgeon) About to Cut the Cake with a Civil War Sword The CWRT of New York was organized in 1951 to keep alive the history of the Civil War. |
It should not surprise anyone that many people remain deeply interested in that unusual period of American history from 1861 to 1865. The Civil War, known by many other names in different parts of the country, has been romanticized and militarily dissected more than any other war in history.
To help keep the history of the time alive, a number of men and women organized The Civil War Round Table of New York in 1951. They included reporters, historians, professors, military personnel and many others. Over the years, more than 175 such organizations have brought together people interested in the war.
