I heard Ed Cotham speak last year at the West Coast Civil War Round Table Conference in Fresno. He did two presentations . One on the Battle of Galveston and the other on Battle of Sabine Pass. He is not to be missed if you get a chance. He was a story teller . Not just telling the facts but telling the story even adding some humor when it was there to be told. Wish I was going to be in the area to hear him. This years West Coast Round Table in in Sacramento November 10-12. The theme is Aspects of the War on the Waters. Ed Bearss and Craig Symonds are speaking . Our own Jim Strandbery from Orange County Round Table and board member at the Drum Barracks will also be speaking .
