DINNER ($25.00): 7:00 P.M. PROGRAM: 8:00 P.M. Meet Our Speaker Lawrence Hewitt Lawrence Hewitt is a native of Louisville, Kentucky. He received his B.A. from the University of Kentucky in After attending graduate school there, where he studied under Charles P. Roland, Hewitt transferred to Louisiana State University in 1975 to study under T. Harry Williams. Following his death, Hewitt completed his dissertation under William J. Cooper, Jr., receiving his Ph.D. in After serving as the Historic Site Manager of the Port Hudson ( ) and the Camp Moore State Commemorative Areas ( ), he joined the faculty of Southeastern Louisiana University in After receiving that institution's highest honor in 1991, the President s Award for Excellence in Research, and attaining the rank of full professor in 1993, he resigned in 1996 to marry a native of Chicago, where he currently resides. Professor Hewitt served in a variety of capacities in the Baton Rouge Civil War Round Table, including that of president. He was the 1991 recipient of the New Orleans Civil War Round Table s Charles L. Dufour Award for Outstanding Achievements in Preserving the Heritage of the American Civil War. A life member of the Southern Historical Association and the Louisiana Historical Association, he served on the board of directors and on the publications committee of the latter organization as well as on the editorial board of The Journal of Confederate History.
2 The Adjutant s Call 2 March, 2010 Since relocating to Chicago, Hewitt served as Managing Editor ( ) and Book Review Editor ( ) for North & South, published numerous articles and book reviews, and addressed various organizations throughout the United States. In 2002, the University of Missouri Press published Louisianians in the Civil War which he co edited with Arthur W. Bergeron, Jr. Bruce S. Allardice and Hewitt edited Kentuckians in Gray: Confederate Generals and Field Officers of the Bluegrass State, published by the University Press of Kentucky in Hewitt s other books include Port Hudson, Confederate Bastion on the Mississippi (1987), The Confederate High Command & Related Topics (1990), and Leadership During the Civil War (1992). Later this spring the University of Tennessee Press will publish Confederate Generals in the Western Theater: Volume 1, Classic Essays on America's Civil War and Confederate Generals in the Western Theater: Volume 2, Essays on America's Civil War, both of which he coedited with Art Bergeron. The third volume was just accepted by the University of Tennessee Press and a fourth is underway along with three volumes of Confederate Generals in the Trans-Mississippi: Essays on America's Civil War. In addition to these books, he is currently working on Lee and His Generals: Essays in Honor of T. Harry Williams, America's Foremost Hispanic: David Glasgow Farragut, and The 14th Louisiana Infantry: the Fightingest Regiment in the Civil War. Slandered Heroes: Deserters Who Didn t "Slandered Heroes: Deserters Who Didn't" deals with Civil War soldiers whose official service records conclude that they were absent without leave at the end of the war when in fact they either died in service or remained on duty. The vast majority of these were the result of bureaucratic procedures used by both sides that required soldiers who disappeared on the battlefield to be labeled as deserters on subsequent muster rolls. These same regulations enabled at least one massacre to be covered up by the North, while amendments to them in the fall of 1863 by the South required thousands of men who were present with their units to be listed as deserters. Union and Confederate soldiers representing the Eastern, Western, and Trans-Mississippi theaters are highlighted as examples of these bureaucratic injustices.
