Dear Editor:
I have received and distributed
the issues of the Mountain Messen-
ger which contain the stories written
by our winning Monroe County chil-
dren for the Young Writer's Contest.
Thank you for your interest and will-
ingness to print these entries. I
know it will mean a lot to each child
to see his or her writing in published
form. Who knows? Perhaps your ef-
forts will spawn an undertaking on
the part of one of these children to
become a writer by profession.
Our school system appreciates
your desire to highlight the work of
Monroe County students. I wish you
and your publication much future
success and growth.
Sincerely

Once More Unto The Breech...
The Battle of Lewisburg: May 19&20
By John Mcllhenny
The roar of artillery and rattle of
musketry will be heard once again in
the streets of Lewisburg during the
weekend of May 19 and 20, when
the city sponsors its first re-enact-
ment of the Civil War battle fought
here in May 1862.
A full weekend of exciting and
educational Civil War events are
planned to mark the 128th Anniver-
sary of the Battle of Lewisburg. Both
Union and Confederate reenactors
will establish authentic civil War
camps in Lewisburg in which the
public may observe demonstrations
of camp life and exhibits of uniforms,
weapons and equipment. Besides
the artillery, infantry, and cavalry
displays, there will be a field hospi-
tal, blacksmith, signal units, authen-
tic sutlers, and a "Mathew Brady"
photographer. Pennsylvania's Com-
monwealth Ancients and CSA Music
of Virginia will provide Civil War era
music in both camps. Dance Master
Dan Stanton and the Looking Glass
Dancers of Baltimore will present
demonstrations of period dan(~es at
Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg. The
General Lewis Inn will be the scene
of an 1862 fashion show and con-
certs by the 11th North Carolina
Band.
Several of Lewisburg's historical
buildings will be open and staffed
The living history presentations
start at noon on Saturday, May 19.
The first battle scenario is at 4 p.m.
when the 44th Ohio captures the
Confederate artillery in back of the
General Lewis Inn. A parade along
Washington Street starts at 5 p.m.
followed by a second battle reenact-
ment on the hill behind Greenbrier
Center.
On Sunday, May 20, starting at
10 a.m. there will be a memorial ob-
servance at the Confederate Ceme-
tery and a camp church service.
Both events will have Confederate
and Union participation with music
appropriate to the occasion. A con-
cert by the 11th North Carolina
Band will begin at 1 p.m. in the
Southern camp behind the West Vir-
ginia School of Osteopathic Medi-
cine. The grand finale, a reenact-
ment of the Battle of Lewisburg, will
start at 2 p.m. at the site of the Con-
federate camp. Closing ceremonies
are at 3 p.m.
All profits from the reenactment
will go towards the restoration and
preservation of an 18th Century
Conestoga wagon presented to the
City of Lewisburg by Edwin
Coffman.
Tickets to the reenactment are
$7.50 for adults and $5 for children
under twelve. Tickets cover admis-
with living history reenactors in cos- sion to all living histories and build-
tume who will portray personalities ings plus refreshments at the Union
