UPDATE:
Multiple sources have reported that the Virginia Civil War Events, Inc has withdrawn its request to partner with Prince William County as an events planner for the Sesquicentennial in 2011. ‘Withdrawn’ can be a temporary situation. It can simply mean ‘for now.’
The BOCS had decided to revisit the plans for the proposed Memorandum of Understanding with this group in January.
No explanation was provided via our sources. It could very well be that the harsh reality of the extremely austere budget cuts Virginia is facing signalled that there simply is no money. Or…The organization’s chair could be revising his plans. Stay tuned.

Obviously the Encyclopedia of Virginia is a flawed document. anti-BVBL and Moon-howler aren’t mentioned!
Darn right it is flawed. We need to set them straight!
Great link to Evergreen Manor. The music is one of my favorites: Ashokan Farewell.

I gather that the bloggers here are against reenactments, against those who do living history and against the idea of PWC supporting a local reeanctment of the 150th 1st Manassas. Why? Wouldn’t that encourage more folks to come to the area and support all related events. I thought I understood that Owen was the Chairman of Historical Manassas. Do you feel he would do it in bad taste/ One more question, I read several comments concerning the lack of funds in PWC for this and other things. Why do you assume that PWC would not benefit financially from such an event?
