I spent a lovely five days participating in the annual conference of the American Battlefield Trust. It was an amazing time, from the talks, to tours, to meals, and to getting to know a lot of new faces and seeing a few folks I have met over the years. My Cynthiana tour went well I believe, and I enjoyed getting to read a few first person accounts during the Richmond tour, which saw the local association providing an excellent pot luck lunch during the day. I also got a chance to get over the Camp Nelson, one of the newest National Park Service sites.
The major of Cynthiana, the staff at the historical museum, and the folks from the Episcopal Church all provided a small town welcome. My friend Bill Penn was able to sell some copies of his book during our stop at the museum.
I am already planning to attend the Color Bearer event in Savannah, as well as the annual conference in Virginia next year.
