290 Foundation recommends the writings of Colonel Charles Dahnmon Whitt

6/10/2015

THE BLOODY TWENTY NINTH By Colonel Charles Dahnmon Whitt. History tells us 'The Twenty-ninth Virginia Infantry Regiment was raised in southwest Virginia where the counties of Tazewell, Russell, Buchannan, Carroll, and Scott supplied most volunteers and recruits for this Regiment'. Dahnmon Whitt's book is based on true events and is written in his usual and appealing historical-fiction manner. Names, dates, places and some events are used as a backdrop to other, imagined dialogue, opinion and reactions. Arguably the best piece of written work by this author to date, Dahnmon Whitt reveals in his imaginative style, the hard fought lives of country folk and the sacrifices they made over and against a continuous four year onslaught. Dahnmon Whit brings the Civil War in Virginia to life through these people of Virginia and persuades the reader to recognise their struggle for what is was - a feat of true heroism. Highly Recommended! Get this book at http://dahnmonwhittfamily.com

Colonel Whitt will be glad to see you there.

Gardner Farm, Licking Station Rd Salyersville, Magoffin, Kentucky United States (37.74472,-83.07917) GPS

Battle of Ivy Point will be April 10-11-12, 2015 on the Gardner Farm, Salyersville, KY. We are in conflict with Appomattox 150th which might hurt our numbers so if you reenact and are free on our weekend we can certainly use your help. Please pass the word, thanks, Randall.

Battle of Ivy Point-April 10-11-12, 2015

A remembrance of Civil War activities that took place throughout the war on this most historic farm will be held to honor this important history.

This will be our 7th Reenactment dedicated to public awareness of Magoffin County Civil War history. This Reenactment will conclude our 150th celebrations so we hope to end with a great event.

We will offer amenities to reenactors as our budget allows to include some meals, firewood and a drawing for cash. You will be afforded the opportunity to camp and walk where tens of thousands of soldiers trod.

There are some 500 soldiers buried in unmarked graves on this land and we plan to have a ceremony to honor their memory.
