Civil War Revisited
The reenactment of John S. Mosby: Making connections, taking the long view.
#As the Great Falls Historical Society continues its annual reflection on the Civil War (1861-1865) over its five-year-long 150th year anniversary, Rick and Debbie Turner, residents of Great Falls, reenacted John S. Mosby and his wife, Pauline at the monthly meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 18. Rick took detailed, factual research about John Mosby's life, battles and achievements and dramatized the tale in the first person. He brought Mosby to life, to the delight of a packed audience, providing a nuance of insight and a visceral connection to the inner workings of the Civil War that were tangible, specific and fascinating. One cannot help but presume that Rick's great-great-grandfather, who fought in Mosby's command, and Rick's great-great grandmother, who lived to tell Civil War stories until her death at 102 years, played a part in inspiring Rick to keep this important pieces of local history alive.
