Dr. Carmichael will meet members and sign books at 5 p.m., then will speak at 6pm at the meeting to be held at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library Auditorium, according to a press release.

His recent book on the “War for the Common Soldier,” explores how soldiers on both sides of the Civil War handled the physical and psychological stress of war; the longest and most violent chapter of the war, “Persevering in Grant’s Overland Campaign: How Union Soldiers Coped with Battlefield Trauma.”

The professor of civil war studies and director of the Civil War Institute at Gettysburg College received his doctorate under Gary W Gallagher. He served as Gettysburg National Military Park’s first Scholar in Residence and continues to work closely with the National Park Service, the release said.

The Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable meets the third Tuesday of every month at the Scottsdale Civil Center Library Auditorium, 3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd., Scottsdale.

Speakers are comprised of Civil War experts from around the country. The group supports battlefield preservation. All are welcome to attend.
