Video of Talk at the Blenheim Center: Richmond-Petersburg Campaign

Here is a video of my March 2015 talk at the Civil War Interpretive Center at Historic Blenheim in Fairfax, Va.  For those who haven't had a chance to read Richmond Must Fall, this talk covers many of the book's highlights in about 40 minutes.    

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Blenheim and want to thank David Meyer and Andrea Loewenwarter for arranging the talk there.  Afterward, they gave me a personal tour of Blenheim itself, which contains some fascinating Civil War graffiti scribbled by Union soldiers during the war.   Rachael Roth and the staff at Cityscreen 12 of Fairfax Cable TV filmed the presentation and did a great job creating a condensed version of the talk.
