My Dear Fellow Citizens:

This Saturday on November 7, plans to be a busy day for me. I will be at the Hardin Co. Library in Elizabethtown, Kentucky discussing Louisville During the Civil War at 1 Pm, and then I will be heading to the Frazier International History Museum at 3 Pm to also give a lecture on Louisville During the Civil War, but the Frazier Museum is also having a Civil War artifacts workshop. Several of the items from their collection will be on display for the general public to see upclose. I have asked that George Prentice’s Henry Rifle be put on display. This is a rare opportunity and I encourage everyone to come out to the Frazier Museum. They are also having a fantastic exhibit on local heroes from WW II. So come out and have some fun.

Guided Tour: Civil War Museum of the Western Theatre is now available on DVD and is for sale in Bryan’s store.

Here’s the description from the store page:

Historian Bryan S. Bush gives you a virtual tour of the Civil War Battles of the Western Theater Museum in Bardstown, Kentucky. He will take you through the battles of Forts Henry and Donelson, Shiloh, Perryville, Stones River, Vicksburg, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, the Atlanta Campaign, and fall of Atlanta. Mr. Bush will introduce you to the artifacts worn by leaders in the Cavalry, Navy, Infantry, and Artillery, such as General John Hunt Morgan, Simon B. Buckner, Benjamin Hardin Helm, William Woodruff, and many others. Mr. Bush will also cover the medical corps and military bands during the Civil War. So come take an adventure through the Civil War of the Western Theater.

Bryan has just released a new article on his website entitled “Colonel William (Willie) Campbell Preston Breckinridge – 9th Kentucky Cavalry, C.S.”.  Check out this very detailed article about Breckinridge, who served with Confederate General John Hunt Morgan.  As a bonus, it includes images of three related artifacts from the Civil War Museum of the Western Theater in Bardstown, Kentucky.
