For more information call Vale Hanzel at 707-928-1060 or visit www.vikingsoflakelodge.org.

The main presenter will be Dr. Bill Cornelison, a former Lake County superintendent of schools and a professor of history at Yuba College.

Dr. Cornelison will review the life of John C. Fremont, known to history as “The Great Pathfinder.”

Fremont had an extensive historical resume, including helping secure California from Mexico, being the first senator from California, the Republican Party's first candidate for president and controversial Civil War general.

After the presentation, Dr. Cornelison will lead a round table discussion on the merits and faults of Fremont's Civil War decisions.

Lisa Deppe will open the roundtable with a brief presentation on the Battle of Wilson's Creek where Gen. Nathaniel Lyon was killed by a mixed army of southern soldiers and Cherokees.

Eleven years earlier it was the same Lyon who came to Lake County and committed the Bloody Island atrocity, killing upwards of 300 Pomo men, women and children.

The Redwood Empire Civil War Roundtable meets once a month and attempts to review what happened that month 150 years ago during the Civil War.

Admission is free and everyone is welcome.
