FIELD-STUDY TRIPS
BENTONVILLE - Thursday, March 19
On the 150th anniversary of the day the battle began, join us for a day trip to the battlefield at Bentonville. We’ll take
you to the site where Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston struck a wing of Major-General William T. Sherman’s
army in the futile hope that Southern forces might deter or destroy a part of the Union force. While there, we’ll follow
the three-day battle and highlight the men and action in one of, if not the last, major confrontation of armies. Please
plan to travel with us to the site of North Carolina’s greatest land battle.
Lecturer, Fred W. Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT)
Tuition: $120; GAA members pay only $90
Departs from Chapel Hill, includes lunch and round-trip transportation
APPOMATTOX - Saturday and Sunday, April 11-12
Though you may have traveled to dozens of battlefields, there is something about this place that reinforces popular
historian Bruce Catton’s Pulitzer Prize-winning work. There is, indeed, “a stillness at Appomattox.” Join us as we
document the Union breakthrough ending the 10-month siege around Petersburg, the flight of Lee’s army across
southern central Virginia and the end at our destination— the stillness that is Appomattox. It is a moving and powerful
place and we’d like to share that experience and emotion with you on the very day that, 150 years ago, Lee’s infantry
marched in, stacked its arms, turned in their beloved battle flags and became, once more, citizens of the United States.
Lecturer, Fred W. Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT)
Tuition: $500; GAA members pay only $470
Departs from Chapel Hill, includes lodging, all site fees, all meals and transportation to and from Chapel Hill
Attendance is limited to 40 people
THE BENNETT PLACE - Friday, April 17
The rustic farmhouse of James Bennett near Durham Station was the middle ground between Joseph E. Johnston’s
headquarters in Greensboro and William T. Sherman’s in Raleigh. In April of 1865, that simple structure became the
setting for the largest troop surrender of the American Civil War. For years, the event has been overlooked and pushed
into history’s shadow. Join us as we travel to the site to investigate its true national significance.
Lecturer, Fred W. Kiger ’74 (’77 MAT)
Tuition: $55; GAA members pay only $35
Meet at Bennett Place at 10:00 a.m. Box lunch included
