Chris Fonvielle Presentation Tonight for the Federal Point Historic Preservation Society
From the Federal Point Historic Preservation Society (FPHPS) Newsletter.
I belong to this fine organization and sure would like to be there, but something about a 1200 mile distance prevents it.
The May Meeting of the FPHPS will be held tonight, May 20 at 7:30 PM. It will be held at the federal Point History Center, 1121-A North Lake Park Blvd., next to the Carolina Beach (NC) Town Hall.
This month the presentation will by noted Wilmington area Civil War expert Chris E. Fonvielle, Jr., who will be talking about "Sugar Loaf and the Battle for Wilmington, NC, 1865." We will learn about the Confederate defenses at Sugar Loaf and Union efforts to overrun them after the capture of Fort Fisher and the capture Wilmington, N.C..
Like I Said, I Really Would Love To Be There. --Old B-Runner
