    3. Hello, Sorry to disturb you. However, we were kinda hoping you would like to know about a outdoor living historical drama scheduled to be performed beginning Aug 3, 2002. Based on the historical novel, When I Come Home, by Judith Carney, about her great-great grandmother, Lucinda Jane Boone Pless. Lucinda's husband was captured at Chicamauga during the War Between The States and never returned. Lucinda lived until 1913 never knowing what happened to her husband, James Monroe Pless. Not knowing her husband already lay dead in a mass grave hundreds of miles away, Lucinda did a very brave and heroic deed. In fact, some historians credit Lucinda with single-handedly saving Dadeville, Alabama from destruction by bravely standing up to Yankee General Lovell Rousseau and his "Rousseau's Raiders." To honor Lucinda, the City of Dadeville officially issued a proclamation declaring August 3, 2002 to be "Lucinda Jane Boone Pless Day." The Historic Society of Tallapoosa County is sponsoring it. We would sincerely appreciate it if you would place a link on your site to www.AlabamaStory.org & also perhaps help us publicize it. Judith Carney, the author, playwright, & director is also available for limited speaking engagements to help publicize the drama and the book on which it is based. For more please go to www.AlabamaStory.org Thank you, David Carney Read Judy's latest book - When I Come Home The Historic Society of Tallapoosa County, Alabama is presenting it as an outdoor living historical drama this summer. http://www.JudyCarney.com
