Please join us on Wednesday, October 15th at 7 pm, as the Phil Kearny Civil War Round Table has a Zoom Presentation with Licensed Battlefield Guide Larry Korczyk, on General Rowley on Day 1 of Gettysburg.

Rowley commanded the Third Division of the First Corps on July 1, 1863. During the chaotic retreat from McPherson’s Ridge, he clashed with fellow officers, most notably Brig. Gen.

The resulting controversy and later accusations of drunkenness led to his court-martial and conviction in 1864, effectively ending his active military career despite later reinstatement. This is an often-overlooked incident at Gettysburg and promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking program.
