Fort Pillow Annual Living History - 2018

Whose Facebook page are your referencing?

I scrolled back through the Park's FB and I did find your wreath. I didn't see the one that I was thinking that I saw---which was probably one from 2014.

Thanks. The wreath in 2014 was from a florist who misspelled cavalry and I had to remove all the ribbons except the one saying "Fort Pillow." Can't recall what I did in 2015... but it's a non-issue. It's nice to see any tributes.

The picture is of the Great-Great grandson and the Great-Great-Great grandson of Peter Williams, then 6th USCHA. The dog in the foreground is Shiloh and lives with me. The young man gave a wonderful tribute thanking his family for telling him about Peter Williams and what happened to him before, during and after Fort Pillow. Even Shiloh was attentive to his words. The ceremony was really nice and it's hopeful that young people will carry on the yearly tribute.
