Hi Mom,Hurricane Katrina is still on everybody's lips in the south. At Jefferson Davis's house, we stood where the buildings had been before the storm, and learned what would be there next. We saw the Tomb of the Unknown Confederate Soldier, and had the chance to buy every kind of souvenir to have ever had the Confederate flag plastered on it.
They do Civil War re-enactments once a year (maybe more, I forget) at Jefferson Davis's house as well, allegedly a large spectator sport in which the South sometimes even pulls a win.
Love,
Karen
I think that Uncle Harold has been to the re-enactment of the Civil War. He is totally into it! He has an entire bookshelf dedicated to books about the Civil War, and he even has an authentic bullet from the Civil War!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was there, he even showed me a Civil War DVD!
Love,
Mom
