Details
Rocks, hills, and other geological features played a significant — but little known — role in the Civil War, influencing combat between the North and the South in ways that may surprise you. In the next Personally Speaking series talk, UNC Charlotte expert Scott Hippensteel will give new meaning to the phrase "American soil," revealing how geological traits have influenced domestic military successes and failures throughout history into today.
This free community talk on Tuesday, March 29 at 7 p.m. at The Dubois Center at UNC Charlotte Center City will dig into Hippensteel’s unique research, including the stories behind his book Rocks and Rifles: The Influence of Geology on Combat and Tactics during the American Civil War.
