Running the Blockade-- Some News About the War.
1. TEENAGER TO USE SLAVERY AS AN EXCUSE-- The April 3rd Birminham, Al, News says that at least one of the teenagers arrested for the desecration of the Confederate Memorial on the grounds of Alabama's state capitol is going to use the excuse that it was a statement against slavery. This should be an interesting trial.
2. NEW MARKER FOR WALDEN-- The Enterprise Ledger reports that there are 40 Confederate veterans buried in the Enterprise City Cemetery. There was some damage from a tornado last year. On April 12th there will be by the UDC for a new marker on the grave of 2nd Lt. Charles R. Walden of the 49th Ga. Regiment.
3. I MISSED THE SCV MEETING-- I picked up the April 3rd Goldsboro News-Argus and read it at 9 pm and wasn't too happy to see that i had missed the Goldsboro Rifles Sons of Confederate Veterans meeting that started at 7 pm that day. They met at the Salem United Methodist Church and were given a power-point presentation by Jeff Bockett, a Civil War specialist with the North Carolina Department of Cultural resources on North Carolina uniforms. Sure would have liked to attend as a representative of the Camp Douglas Sons of Confederate Veterans. Too little, too late.
4. FIRST CIVIL WAR TRAILS MARKER IN WEST VIRGINIA-- at Princeton. This is an excellent program to increase public awareness of the war.
5. LOOKS LIKE CONFEDERATE TAGS NOT TO BE IN FLORIDA-- The Confederate license plate bill appears to be dead in the water since it has no co-sponsor and has not been sent to a committee. Too bad about that.
The War Continues. --Old B-Runner
