Around the Camp Fire
Join former Governor and Confederate Colonel William “Extra Billy” Smith (portrayed by David Meisky of Buena Vista) reminiscing about the recent battle at Manassas. Smith’s regiment, the 49th Infantry, was in the process of being organized and only three companies had reported and took part in the battle. One of those was the “Amherst Rough and Readies.” Extra Billy, who some of you may remember for his pre-war stage route through Amherst, will give his account of the action. Light refreshments. Free Admission.
