Historical Society To Host Author

RANDOLPH — The Randolph Historical Society will have guest speaker Earl McElfresh at its meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Randolph Municipal Building. McElfresh is the author of Maps and Mapmakers of the Civil War (Abrams, 1999) as well as map presentations at The Smithsonian, Library of Congress, Harvard Map Collection, National Archives, Warburg Institute in London, Boston Public Library, New York Public Library, Civil War Round Tables and on C-Span Book TV. His maps have been featured by the History Book Club 21 times. McElfresh’s program will describe and assess the Battle of Stones River, Tennessee. The significance of the admittedly “equivocal” outcome of the battle of Stones River (U.S. Grant himself was later to scoff that Stones River was “no victory”) is that “everything is indeed relative.” The outcome of Stones River for Union forces, in contrast to their recent genuine military disasters culminating in the Union debacle at Fredericksburg, Va., had the relative appearance of victory.
