Please take a moment in this waining year to reflect and honor all of our fallen Sisters of the UDC.
Word has reached this Daughter that Olivelle Graves, General Forrest Chapter, #881 has passed. My heart goes out to #322 and all of Olivelle’s friends.

Part of being part of a larger group of like-minded folk is to share information. Please feel free to share historical information with all of us through this elist. Even information that is not centered specifically on the War Between The States! More historical information gets the “juices flowing”, keeps us in the honoring and preservation mood and excites the senses. I’ll holler out things from time to time, please join me :o)

Keeping the Southern way of life alive in this day and age is sometimes difficult. While we all strive to be “blue book” perfect, gracious, and genteel, what of our children. Today I noted a news item that may help our younger generation. Hasbro is launching a new line of games that promote listening, etc. Of note is the pre-school geared manners game.

Ft. Gibson Historic Site holds period “bake days” throughout the year. This fall (2008), mark your calendars for November 8. The fun begins at 10 AM. See how the US Army baked bread for troops in Indian Territory in the late 1800s. Take home some of this bread and support the Friends of the Fort, which benefits the operation of this historic site. http://www.okhistory.org/outreach/military/fortgibson.html

Beyond the inaccurate, but commonly accepted, label of “Civil War”, that atrocity should always, more accurately, be referred to as: The War Between the States.
