Monthly Meetings Programs

The 1st Lt. Jesse Page Camp #2351 holds its monthly meetings on the third Monday of each month, with adjustments made as necessary for holidays and inclement weather.

Meetings are held in the private room of the Hungry Horse Restaurant, located at:
109 Saunders Street, Boerne, Texas 78006

Members and guests are warmly invited to join us for a social dinner hour beginning at 6:00 PM, offering an opportunity for fellowship, camaraderie, and good food.

The official meeting is called to order promptly at 7:00 PM. Each meeting includes updates from across the Confederation, announcements of upcoming events, and an engaging educational program featuring a variety of guest speakers.

Whether you are a long-standing member or visiting for the first time, your presence is both welcomed and appreciated.

Attire: Casual; however, out of respect for the organization, we ask that shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops not be worn.

Each month, the Camp hosts an engaging and thoughtfully curated program designed to explore and illuminate the authentic history of the South. These presentations invite both members and visitors to step beyond the surface of well-known narratives and gain a deeper understanding of the people, events, and principles that shaped a defining era in American history.

Programs feature a wide range of topics, including the weapons and equipment carried by soldiers, the challenges of manufacturing and procuring supplies in a resource-strained Confederacy, and the tactical decisions made on the battlefield that influenced the course of the war. Beyond the military perspective, presentations also examine the broader context—highlighting the role of government policy, the strain of wartime economies, and the profound impact of the conflict on civilians at home.

Guest speakers, historians, and knowledgeable members contribute their insights, ensuring each program is both educational and engaging. Whether exploring battlefield strategy, camp life, or the social and political climate of the 1860s, these discussions are grounded in research and presented with respect for the historical record.

At its core, this ongoing initiative seeks to foster a deeper appreciation for the enduring values of Faith, Family, and Freedom—principles that continue to resonate within the Southern community. Attendees are encouraged not only to learn, but to reflect, engage in meaningful dialogue, and carry forward a greater understanding of their shared heritage.

Adjutant W. Keith Keltner

Born in Tennessee, Keith Keltner was raised in the enduring spirit and traditions of the American South. Family has always been the cornerstone of his life, providing both strength and purpose, while his faith serves as a steady guide through every season. Keith’s professional career has centered in the transportation industry—spanning planes, trains, and delivery services—which has taken him to communities across the country. Yet no matter where the road has led, his heart has remained firmly rooted in Dixie His passion for Southern history began at an early age, inspired by the story of his great-grandfather, who fought at the Battle of Shiloh and later gave his life at Lookout Mountain. From that moment forward, Keith has remained deeply committed to preserving and sharing the authentic stories of the South—those passed down through generations and remembered around family tables. These principles—faith, family, and heritage—continue to shape his life and define who he is.
