The 2009 Gathering of Civil War Eagles is over and it was a very interesting event this year.  The afternoon discussion concerning the conduct of the war Saturday was interesting, informative, and sometimes heated between the Union and Confederates.  Since the event several e-mails have been received by those attending with appreciation for the event and the conduct of the first person personas.  Below are a couple of comments made about the event.

"The whole weekend was a highlight! A Living Historian for a few years, I was accompanied by my gentleman friend, Denis Lyddane, who, like myself, has ancestors that shaped this Nation's history, yes, in the Civil War as well as other wars. Due to this first exposure to such a great passion, he is probably going to join "our time." He mentioned more than once the welcoming, topmost quality of all he met.

We were honored to be amongst a whole "cast" who were historically correct, thoughtful, and insightful. The time allowed for events, the characters, and the buildings were all perfect and DIGNIFIED, for the Living Historians and spectators alike. 

Thank you for taking your considerable time to bring to us such a high-quality event. The impromptu conversation with the Presidents, having some cake made by the dear bride, exchanging "attire secrets" with Jackie Milburn, listening to the boots as they strode down the brick-paved street, these are memories that will often be thought of.

I will do my very best to promote this event next year, and the invitation to possibly join you, what an unexpected gift!"

With Sincere Regards,

Miss Karen Lewis
