Last weekend was quite special as I was invited to speak at the Niota Tennessee Civil War Re-Enactment. Niota is home to the oldest railroad depot in the State of Tennessee and the events of the weekend centered around that structure. There were infantry demonstrations, artillery displays, and programs presented by a variety of participants, all focused on how the Civil War played out in East Tennessee. My thanks to Mayor Lois Preece and the many volunteers who created and presented this wonderful event.
