The re-eanctment trek will end May 23rd, with Philip Brown's arrival at the Duke Homestead in Durham.
Washington Duke was a sailor in the Confederate Navy, captured by the Union forces, released at the end of the war and taken to New Bern, North Carolina.
Brown is retracing Washington Duke's walk, but is doing it for all warriors returning from all wars. Shortly after completion of the walk, Brown will start work at the Gettysburg National Military Park. Not a bad thing to do after this.
Other stops along the way will be Kinston, Seven Springs, Goldsboro, Princeton, Smithfield, Clayton, Raleigh, Morrisville and Durham.
