SUMMARY:Roundtable: The Beefsteak Raid
DESCRIPTION:Join speaker J. Michael Moore as he shares the story of “The Beefsteak Raid.” Moore’s presentation will focus on the the September 14 through 17\, 1864\, Beefsteak Raid led by Confederate Major General Wade Hampton. Hampton’s 100 -mile raid behind Union lines included 3\,000 Confederate cavalrymen whose goal was to capture Union cattle to feed Confederate soldiers. When U.S. President Abraham Lincoln heard of the raid capturing more than 2\,000 cattle\, he said that it was “the slickest piece of cattle-stealing” he ever heard of. \nJ. Michael Moore is employed by the City of Newport News and serves as their Historic Services Museum Curator. Moore received a bachelor of arts in history from Christopher Newport University and a master of arts in history from Old Dominion University. During his tenure with the City\, he has curated exhibits at several local historic sites\, developed historic signage\, and led battlefield tours in Maryland\, North Carolina\, Virginia\, and West Virginia. Working with the Virginia Department of Historic Resources\, he has placed Causey’s Mill\, Historic Endview\, Lee’s Mill\, and Whitaker’s Mill on the National Register of Historic Places. In addition\, Michael is a popular lecturer for CNU’s LifeLong Learning Society. Moore has co-authored two books – The Peninsula Campaign of 1862: A Military Analysis in 2005 and Yorktown’s Civil War Siege: Drums Along the Warwick in 2012. In addition\, he has served as the editor and photographic editor for twelve books and written articles for Virginia Cavalcade\, North & South\, Military Collector & Historian\, and Mulberry Island Notes. In recognition of his work in public history\, the Governor of Kentucky commissioned Moore a Kentucky Colonel in 2014. He is a Newport News native and resides in Historic Yorktown. \nThe Petersburg Civil War Roundtable (PCWRT) will meet the first Thursday of each month (except for June\, July and August) at Pamplin Historical Park and the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier from 7:00 pm-8:00 pm.
