Feb 2026 Meeting of the Chicago Civil War Round Table:Keith Bohannon talked to the group about Wheeler’s Cavalry in the Atlanta Campaign
<p> <strong>Keith Bohannon on Wheeler’s Cavalry in the Atlanta Campaign </strong></p><p><strong>For more info: WWW.ChicagoCWRT.ORG</strong></p><p><br></p><p> Keith Bohannon will examine General Joe Wheeler's background and the operations of his command from May-September 1864. During much of this time, Wheeler's command guarded the flanks of the army and protected vital railroads from Union cavalry raids. Often his cavalry, dismounted, fought in the lines against Sherman's infantry. Wheeler's decisive defeat of Union cavalry forces during the McCook-Stoneman Raid is arguably the high point of his career.</p><p> Dr. Keith Bohannon is Professor of History at the University of West Georgia, where he teaches courses on the Civil War and Reconstruction, the Old South, and Georgia history. He is the co-editor, with Randall Allen, of Campaigning with Old Stonewall in Virginia: The Letters of Ujanirtus Allen, Company F, 21st Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry (LSU Press, 1998), author of The Giles Artillery (Virginia Regimental Series) and is the author of numerous essays, book reviews, and scholarly journal articles. He has appeared on C-Span numerous times. Prior to his appointment to the faculty at West Georgia, Dr. Bohannon worked as a historian, interpreter, and living historian with the National Park Service at multiple Civil War sites. </p>
