You are invited The Friends of De Soto Public Library will present storyteller, Dianne Moran " Battle of Pilot Knob" on Friday, November 9, 2001 at 2:00 pm in the De Soto Public Library. The program, which is free and open to the public, is hosted by the Friends of De Soto Public Library and funded by the Missouri Humanities Council (MHC), the State of Missouri, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. " They said it wouldn't last long, but I haven't heard from my boys since the day they marched off, that was over a year ago, as well as I can recollect." Listen to the anguished voice of an Ozark hill woman as she shares her desperation about kinfolk and the land she loves so well. Walk with her through the beautiful Arcadia Valley, see with her eyes as she describes the pristine little town of Pilot Knob and how the ravages of war have scarred the land and withered the hearts of the people. Reverently she whispers about the valiant soldiers (men, and women disguised as men!) who ! fought and now lie in unmarked graves on the Fort Davidson battlefield, consecrating forever their final resting place.
