Dear List and Members I thought some of you would like to know about what's up ..... Here's a note from Derick Coordinator of Catawba-West-L Sheila ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ ****************************************** We would like to remind you of this upcoming event. Confederate Farewell Performance: Date: Saturday, May 25, 2002 Time: 1:00PM EDT (GMT-04:00) Place: 5 East Edenton Street in Raleigh, NC http://ncmuseumofhistory.org/prss_rl30.htm Actor Micah Cover will have his final performances at the North Carolina Museum of History in downtown Raleigh NC. Cover portrays a Confederate soldier suffering from illnesses that spread through his camp. The performances take place on Saturday, 25 May, and Sunday, 26 May, at 1PM, 2PM, and 2:30 PM. Each 10-minute dramatic presentation is based on the real-life experiences of Isaac Lefevers, a Confederate soldier from Catawba County who stayed in a Goldsboro hospital during the War for Southern Independence. Dressed in a hand-sewn checked shirt and gray pants, Cover presents the story of a soldier who dreams of battlefield glory and a home- cooked meal. The performances take place in the re-created Confederate hospital in the exhibit "Health and Healing Experiences in North Carolina." Between performances, Cover breaks character to answer questions and talk about the War. You will see him whittling, writing a letter home or repairing a torn shirt ? pastimes that soldiers used to fight boredom while recovering from illness. The actor will use reproduction Confederate tools and supplies that visitors can also handle. The performance is free. The museum is located at 5 East Edenton Street in Raleigh.
