About the Topic. This presentation will take a look at the Civil War career of Union General William Starke Rosecrans, also known as "Old Rosy." Mr. Moore will examine his military successes and their contribution to Union victory in the Civil War.

About The Speaker:
David Moore has been a history guide on the east coast for over 35 years, specializing in the mid-Atlantic area. He calls Washington DC home. Mr. Moore’s interest in General Rosecrans came about quite unexpectedly when he stumbled upon Mrs. Rosecrans' grave while searching for the grave of Mary Surratt in Washington DC's Mt. Olive cemetery. That chance encounter led Mr. Moore to wonder where General Rosecrans is buried. He discovered that Rosecrans was buried in Arlington and learned, or so he thought, from a guidebook about Arlington Cemetery that Lincoln offered Rosecrans the vice presidency in 1864. Mr. Moore later learned that the story was not true, but his interest in Rosecrans was already piqued and the rest, as they say, is history.
