My husband and I are planning a weekend trip to the Gainesville area so I can participate in the Longstreet Bivoac being hosted by The Longstreet Society. Their newsletter said they would be sharing some private papers written by the general and Helen Dortch Longstreet. I've only recently become acquainted with this group so I'm not sure what to expect. I have noticed some incorrect information regarding the general on their Facebook page. I would love to hear from anyone who has been to an event they have hosted. If we do make the trip, I will certainly share what I see and learn.
@War Horse, I visited Alta Vista Cemetery several years ago. The general's grave is beautifully maintained. Just look for the flag! Hope you can also check out the site of his original home (farm), the site where he died (a vacant lot identified with an historical marker), etc.
