WV History Alive! Presents Stonewall Jackson

Saturday 11am

 

The Civil War general Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson will be portrayed by Doug Riley of Tunnelton in a West Virginia Humanities Council History Alive! program at The Mullen Hotel on Saturday September 28th at 11am. The local sponsor of the program is the Hardy County Historical Society.

Born in Clarksburg, Jackson was an orphan who became one of the most revered names in military history. He is regarded by experts as a tactical genius and a relentless battlefield commander of unsurpassed ability. The men of the “Stonewall Brigade” were fiercely loyal to their leader. General Jackson was a devoutly religious man whose death by friendly fire was a crushing blow to Confederate hopes for ultimate victory.

Jackson is one of the many available character presentations offered through the West Virginia Humanities Council’s History Alive! program as a means of exploring history by interacting with noteworthy historical figures.  These programs provide audiences with the opportunity to question those who have shaped our history.

Historical characterization is the vehicle for this program.  Humanities scholars have carefully researched the writings, speeches and biographies of the characters they portray and whenever possible, use their original words.

The West Virginia Humanities Council is a private, not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing educational programs in the humanities for all West Virginians.  For 40 years the Council has been providing educational programs in the humanities across the state.

This program is available to both non-profit and for-profit groups. For more information call The West Virginia Humanities Council at 346-8500 or visit the website: www.wvhumanities.org
