A number of irregular operations took place during the American Civil War incorporating acts of sabotage, ambushes or raids and any number of special reconnaissance missions. These activities were not new then and now fall under the responsibilities of today’s Special Forces in many modern military armies. Then as today, it takes unique skills, training and bold personalities to conduct these forms of unconventional warfare and we’ll explore the people, missions and results of their actions. This year’s Pamplin Historical Park Symposium, with a prominent cast of speakers, examines both special operations and examples of “Guerrilla, Raider, Soldier, Spy: Irregular Warfare in the Civil War.”
The conference will be held on Friday, October 18 through Sunday, October 20, 2024 at Pamplin Historical Park’s Museum of the Civil Soldier and Education Center in Dinwiddie, Virginia and will feature presentations from seven outstanding historians: Joseph Michael Beilein, Jr., Christopher Grasso, Michael C. Hardy, Brian McKnight, Barton Myers, Timothy Smith and Brian Steel Wills.
Cost: is $379.00 per person and the registration fee includes all lectures, the Friday night reception, two mid-morning coffee breaks, two lunches and the Saturday night banquet.
