Eddyville, Ky. I want to invite everyone to the Battle of Eddyville Civil War Re- enactment on April 27, 28, 29. School children will attend period demonstrations on the 27th. Saturday and Sunday will be period events including a Grand Ball on Saturday night and church service on Sunday morning with Bro. Jerrel White as a CW preacher. There will be battles on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 and on Sunday afternoon about 1:00. We already have over 400 re-enactors registered and expect about 500. We also have 14 cannons coming. A cannon night fire on Saturday night is really spectacular. Last year over 800 kids attended the demonstrations on Friday, seeing how life was in the 1860's. We will have medical, flags, camp life, rifle, cherokee Indian and a blacksmith. There is a Ladies Tea at Maple Hill on Saturday. There are about 10 suttlers coming, so you can buy period items. All of you have been doing so much genealogy, please come see how life was back then. A lot of your ancestors fought in the war. We have been working on this since last year's and it has doubled in size. There will also be a memorial tribute to Gen. Hyland B. Lyon at Riverside Cemetery. The event is at the Lee S. Jones Park in Eddyville, Ky. For more info go to http://www.BattleofEddyville.com/
