New Jersey's "One Armed Devil" General Philip Kearny
Experienced, battle-tested officers were desperately needed at the beginning of the Civil War. Philip Kearny fought in three wars, losing his arm in the Mexican-American War, but eagerly trained and led the First Jersey Brigade before rising to Maj. General. Respected and beloved by his men, Kearny led by example and damned the Yankee politicians, the senior officers and the rebels alike. Come hear about the life and valor of one of New Jersey's finest and most charismatic warriors. Glenn Leboeuf will present.
