Rhodes' Brigade Tablet Dedication
Fri Jun 15 16:51:11 2001


I recieved an e-letter about the deication of The Rhodes' Brigade Tablet set for this fall at the Sharpsburg Battlefield. If anyone is interesting in reading the entire letter, email me and I will foward it:

The Rodes' Brigade Tablet (3rd, 5th, 6th, 12th, 26th Alabama Infantry) has
been paid for and recast, and is awaiting an ongoing restoration of
Sharpsburg's "Bloody Lane," where the tablet will once again (after missing
for almost 70 years) reside upon that hallowed ground. The timing couldn't
be more perfect with the Park Service obtaining the Roulette farm, and
restoring the lane, to more resemble its 1862 appearance.

The dedication ceremony is set for Monday, September 17, 2001, at 2:00pm;
the 139th Anniversary of the Battle of Sharpsburg.

I anticipate that the ceremony will last from 45 minutes to one hour. Please
visit our Web Site at Rhodes'Brigade
and please provide this information to all that revere and honor our history and
heritage.
