Ron captured the complexity of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain through masterful biography and storytelling. Too often, this iconic figure’s achievements are restricted to success on the battlefield in the Civil War, but Ron’s engaging lecture traced the long arc of the American nineteenth century through Chamberlain’s life and times. Ron humanized Chamberlain and his unlikely heroics in a captivating style, painting a picture of an ordinary American who, through extraordinary circumstances, played a vital role in a war for the preservation of the United States.”
– Jamie O. Bosket, President & CEO, Virginia Museum of History & Culture, Richmond
Over the last 30 years, the Civil War Round Table of the Union League Legacy Foundation has hosted hundreds of speakers on a great variety of topics. Ron White has become one of our most frequent and favorite speakers. He combines the intellectual skills of the trained historian while conveying the narrative of his subject with the ease of a born storyteller.”
– John Meko, Executive Director, The Union League, Philadelphia
Ron is a master storyteller and excellent conversationalist. It is always a pleasure to host him for our “Four Score” Speaker Series. Our audience was deeply engaged in the discussion on his latest book, On Great Fields, and appreciated his thoughtful responses to their questions.”
