Any of you LBHA'ers have any info on the Indianapolis meeting this fall? I might try and make that one as well.
2009- Gettysburg and the Little Big Horn in the same year. It's been a very good year so far.

Latest Update from Sandy Barnard regarding the Indianapolis LBHA Roundtable Conference: Subj: Indy LBH/Indian wars Meeting Hello All... Our Indianapolis meeting is drawing a nice crowd. I expect no less than 60 people for Sept. 11-12. However, a number of "regulars" haven't signed up yet. The hotel is asking for a food count as of Sept. 5, so I wanted to let folks know that they need to sign up before that date. After that date, they can still attend, but may have to go hungry! Anyone interested in more info should contact me. Thanks! Oh, one change in the program: Peter Cozzens has had to drop out. Steve Towne of Indianapolis will step in to talk about Col. Henry Carrington, who spent the Civil War years in Indy -- before he had that little dust up with Red Cloud and Co. in Wyoming Territory . > Sandy AST Press 1325 Marbank St. Wake Forest , NC 27587 919-453-0577/2944 Fax-919-453-2980 Cell-919-274-9263 See our web site: www.Indianwarsbooks.comOther e-mail: Sandybarnard@nc.rr.com |
