Some New News About an Old War.
1. ILLINOIS SCV CEREMONY-- The April 28th Medill Reports had a nice slide and video presentation on the Camp Douglas Sons of Confederate veterans Illinois Division honoring the 6000 southerners who died at Chicago's Camp Douglas. April 25th was a rainy day.
2. CULP'S HILL TREES-- The April 28th Gettysburg Times reported that missing trees are to be planted by the National Park Service as efforts continue to return the battlefield to its 1863 appearance. These tress have "disappeared" in the last 147 years.
Two historical orchards along Taneytown Road are also being replanted in May. Plams are also to remove dozens of non-historical trees.
3. FLORIDA CONFEDERATE FLAG-- The huge Confederate Battle Flag at the intersection of I-4 and I-75 in Tampa, Florida has been tattered by wind and rain, especially from the April 25th storm. The Tampa SCV General Jubal A. Early Camp 556 is having it repaired and in the meantime is flying a big Betsy Ross flag.
