150TH ANNIVERSARY
The Battle of Bentonville

Bentonville, NC

March 21 - 22, 2015

One of our own, First Sergeant Private Moyer (a/k/a Jeff Speight) made the harrowing 10 hour drive to North Carolina joining in with the 118th NY and 141st PA of the USV's for this 150th anniversary event. For March, the weather was cooperative (and dry) and the men thanked Providence for creating land of soft, sandy soil into which they easily dug trenches with their tin ware. And the Sergeant was kind enough to document his sojourn with his camera and commentary.
