Celebrate James Longstreet
On Thursday, October 25, Longstreet will be at the Northeast Georgia History Center at 7 pm to talk about his life and times. He will also visit the Piedmont Hotel on Saturday, October 27 at 11, 1 and 3 (as part of an all day, all things Longstreet celebration) to meet his good friend U.S. Grant for some significant discussion.
The Longstreet Society is dedicated to the study and celebration
of the life of
Lt. General James Longstreet, CSA
and especially his skill and valor as a soldier
and as commander of the famous old
First Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia;
his fervent dedication to the
restoration of the American Union;
his love of his
Southern homeland;
his advocacy for the ideals of peace and understanding
among all peoples and his belief
in the brotherhood of man.
