Re: Sesquicentennial of the Civil War
Steve,
Thanks for this posting, raising folks awareness of the state efforts, and publicizing the websites. Cal Kinzer and myself are on the Oklahoma Commission, and working very hard to get folks excited about the sesquicentennial. The problem we hear from everyone is the same problem everywhere; money!Frank Siltman

Re: Sesquicentennial of the Civil War
Frank,
I agree, if not more financing, most states would be putting on a bigger attempt to honor the Civil War. With that said, maybe its up to us to fill the void. What would happen if every one of us donated, like you and Cal are doing, our time to the museum, historical society, and school-to tell the story of the period we spend so much time researching. Myself and Andy Ackeret are going to the Kenosha Civil War Museum to support one of their programs, talking to the public. Total cost: White Castle and some gas.
