At approximately 6:30pm we will have refreshments, Hors d'oeuvres , followed by 1 or 2 guest speakers who will speak briefly (no more than 15 minutes each) on Civil War and Hunley related subjects.

Hardee's Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics |
| (1855) was the result of the realization of the value of skirmishers and rapidity of movement by American military thinkers in the early 1850s. French military thought had a heavy influence on American military training and doctrine, and the 1838 tactics of the Duke of Orleans' Chasseurs a Pied introduced new developments in musketry and drill that would be the basis for the tactics used by both sides in the WBTS. |
