China Harbor Restaurant 2040 Westlake Ave N Seattle, WA 98109 Thursday, March 14, 2013, 6 – 9pm Kevin Weddle will discuss Admiral Samuel Francis Du Pont. At the start of the Civil War, Du Pont was considered one of the finest officers in the US Navy. Yet a little more than two years into the war, he was disgraced, having been relieved of his command after his failed naval effort to take Charleston, SC. Today Du Pont is little more than a footnote. Kevin Weddle, Ph.D., Colonel (Retired), US Army, and Professor of Military Theory and Strategy at the US Army War College, will talk about this all but forgotten officer who actually made a significant contribution to US Navy success before and during the war. Professor Weddle is the author of Lincoln’s Tragic Admiral: The Life of Samuel Francis Du Pont.
