This Month's Speaker
Join us for the next meeting of the Williamsburg Civil War Roundtable
at the Williamsburg Public Library Theatre at 7 PM on Tuesday,
September 26, 2017. Patrick Falci a/k/a
General A. P. Hill will present "Up Came Hill" (A. P. Hill at Sharpsburg).
At 6:30 in the morning on September 17, 1862, a
courier sent by Gen. Robert E. Lee arrived at the headquarters of Major
General AP. Hill in Harper's Ferry, VA. A battle had commenced early
that morning in Sharpsburg, MD and General Lee needed help. Lee knew he
was outnumbered more than 2 to 1 at what would be known as the Battle of
Antietam, and that A.P. Hill and his men were the only ones who could
help him. In one half-hour, Hill would have his men on the march at the
double-quick.
For 25 years, Patrick Falci has been the face of General Ambrose Powell
Hill. Before that, he spent 15 years as a reenactor with the 14th
Tennessee— Archer's Brigade, Hill's Light Division. He created the role
of General Hill in the movie Gettysburg and was the historical advisor
to director Ron Maxwell, as well as bestselling author, Jeff Shaara.
Amongst his many achievements, he served as the 3-time president of the
Civil War Round Table of New York and has been a guest speaker all over
the country for his knowledge on the Civil War.
