On Thursday, May 22nd at 7pm, join the North Jersey Civil War Round Table for part two of their Battle of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks presentation presented by Victor Vignola.
Registration is required for the Zoom link.
Author/historian Victor Vignola’s lively presentation explores the topic in detail. His first book Contrasts in Command: The Battle of Fair Oaks – May 31 – June 1, 1862, has received high praise. So stunning is the success of Contrasts in Command, it has earned recognition as receiving the coveted 2023 Fletcher Pratt Award. In addition, the American Battlefield Trust also recognized Contrasts as a Finalist for the 2023 Best Military History Book, while Civil War Books and Authors, an independent review journal of Civil War historiography, included Contrasts in their list of Top 10 Books for 2023.

For most students of the Civil War, the only factor they can recall of the May 31, 1862, Battle of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks, is that the battle resulted in Confederate General Robert E. Lee rising into command of Confederate armies in the east. What many fail to realize is just how close the Confederacy came to complete victory and how the battle became a near disaster for Union General George B. McClellan. Be it a disaster avoided or a lost opportunity, the fact remains the Battle of Seven Pines/Fair Oaks remains one of the most mis-understood battles of the American Civil War.
