Civil War
Learn from experts about America's most costly war.
For a thought-provoking, soul-stirring journey back into this tumultuous
time in our country's history, join us on a poignant Civil War Vacation
designed to broaden your knowledge of and to grant new insights into the
times and causes of “The War Between the States.”
Accompanying us on these emotion-filled voyages will be many noted Civil
War historians and authors including James "Bud" Robertson, Richard
McMurry, William C. "Jack" Davis, Craig Symonds and Brian Steel Wills.
Also joining all departures will be Jim Getty, a Lincoln impersonator who
puts on a moving one-man show. They'll join us on our optional tours to
explore battlefields and experience living history demonstrations.
This is your chance to experience the war's most hallowed sites. To walk
the now still fields of battle. You'll hear, in the soldier's own words,
compelling descriptions of daily life on both sides of the front lines.
You'll get to know "these brave lads in blue and gray" as though they were
your own sons. You'll feel their pain, as well as their determination to
fight for home and country.
You'll stand at the center of the fray, and as the battle rages around
you, you will swear that you can still hear the cries of the wounded,
smell the gunpowder and feel the impact of cannon shot hitting on all
sides. You will leave the battlefield with a deeper appreciation of our
young nation's struggle to become the "Land of the free and the home of
the brave."
Throughout it all, your heart will be touched and your knowledge enriched.
