Civil War speaker at Cravens meeting

The public is invited to hear guest speaker John Moloski during the monthly meeting of
Surgeon John Cravens Sons of Confederate Veterans Camp 2276 at 7 p.m. on Monday, May 21 at the Friends of Christ Church in Gallatin, 402 N. Main, across the street west from Dungy’s Super Market.
Mr. Moloski is a bookseller with Burnt District Press out of Harrisonville. Burnt District features books about state and local history, historical fiction and family histories. Much of the material is not covered in traditional historical textbooks about the Civil War.
Burnt district refers to four western Missouri counties, which were first evacuated and then burned during the Civil War.
Mr. Moloski will give a power point presentation on Missouri Confederate Troops, primarily discussing the battle of Franklin, TN, which was considered one of the worst disasters of the war for the Confederate States Army. The battle is known as the Gettysburg of the west.
