My Dear Fellow Readers:

I am looking forward to my speech at the Highlands Library on Bardstown Road, which is located in the Mid-City Mall. The lecture is at 2 PM August 29 and will include a power point presentation. The lecture will be on Louisville During the Civil War. Bardstown Road had alot of activity during the Civil War. From Cave Hill Cemetery to the Speed mansion, soldiers were marching up and down Bardstown Road during much of the war.

Bryan has just reduced prices on three of his Civil War books in his store.

• The Civil War Battles of the Western Theatre has been reduced from $39.95 to $37.95.

My Dear Fellow Readers:

I encourage everyone to come out and see my lecture on August 16th, at the Memorial Auditorium on James Guthrie. If you have never heard of James Guthrie, you should as a Louisvillian. He is literally Mr. Louisville. He was the founder and president of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad. He helped build the Jefferson County Courthouse, the School for the Blind, founder of the University of Louisville, founded out first fire department. The list goes on and on. I learned a lot myself. There will be a full powerpoint presentation to follow the lecture.

My Dear Fellow Readers:
I just got back from Midway, Kentucky and picked up two fantastic books at my favorite bookstore. I picked up Bennett Young’s Wizards in the Saddle and Adam Rankin Johnson’s book on Partisan Rangers. Bennett Young rode with Confederate General John Hunt Morgan, and lived in Louisville after the war. I also photographed the historical marker describing Sue Mundy’s raid on Midway, and I photographed the monument dedicated to the four Confederate soldiers executed by General Burbridge’s Order Number 59. I am putting together a lecture on Sept 19, with power point presentation on General Burbridge at Octagon Hall.
