Battle of Sacramento : Just outside the village of Sacramento, eight miles north of Greenville, on December 28th, 1861, Forrest was approached by Miss Mollie Morehead, a young Confederate sympathizer. She informed Forrest that just over the hill Federal troops were dismounted and watering their horses at a place called Garst's Pond. Mollie, in Forrest's own words, "with untied tresses floating in the breeze, on horseback, infusing nerve into my arm and kindling knightly chivalry within my heart" ignited the furry of "Forrest's First" fight. Eighteen-year-old Major Eli H. Murray of the 3rd KY Cavalry was in command of a scouting mission of about 400 men that had been dispatched from Camp Calhoun that morning. Major Murray was soon to be face-to-face with "that Devil Forrest." Mollie had given Forrest the opportunity of surprise. He pulled up his mount, grabbed a Maynard rifle from one of his men and ordered the charge!!! Major Kelly and Lt. Col. Starnes were ordered to flank left, flank right, while dismounted sharpshooters took aim at the confused Federal troops. Forrest himself rode headlong toward Major Murray's advancing cavalry, standing up in his stirrups with saber raised, and sounding that dreaded Rebel Yell!!! Thanks to Bob and Charlene for alowing me to share their photos of this event

A Humbling Experience : On Monday, April 28, around 4:00pm there were a series of tornados in Virginia. A few of them hit my town. I have never experienced anything like this. I cannot explain what it felt like while walking through these neighborhoods and photo documenting the destruction that the tornados left behind. My family and I did not lose anything during this storm but I have a strong sense of empathy for those many families that did. Some families lost a few shingles and some lost their whole home and everything in it. After walking these neighborhoods, I want to do what I can to help. I am putting these photos up and a link to a foundation that is raising money to help the families affected. You can donate here.
