The Charger

The newsletter of The Cleveland Civil War Roundtable

The Charger newsletter is published each month during the Roundtable season from September through May. The Charger includes original articles written by Roundtable members on many topics - personalities, battles, politics, social conditions, etc. Most of the material on this web site originated in The Charger.

This page contains a library of digital copies of past issues of The Charger.  To make it easier to find a particular issue, each entry lists the featured articles from that month's Charger.  Files are in pdf format, so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your PC in order to read them.  Click here to download Adobe Acrobat Reader.
