The Bassett Historical Center is proud to announce two programs in March, one being held at the Historical Center, and one being held at the old John D. Bassett High School which is located across from the Historical Center.
"STUART'S BIRTHPLACE: Laurel Hill's history begins with prehistoric times and includes information on the Native Americans. Life of the African-American slaves beginning in 1780 through 1859 is covered in detail. The book includes the immigrant, Archibald Stuart, and details the life of James Ewell Brown "Jeb" Stuart who served in the U.S. Army and fought against it in the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia as commander of Robert E. Lee?s cavalry in the Civil War. His career is discussed, his role at the Battle of Chancellorsville, where he replaced the wounded "Stonewall" Jackson, and the way he gave Lee's Army of Northern Virginia time to escape after the Battle of Gettysburg. The lives of the women of Laurel Hill will also be covered as Elizabeth Perkins Letcher Hairston, Bethenia Letcher Pannill, Elizabeth Letcher Pannill Stuart and Flora Cooke Stuart. Come and join us to hear the Founder of the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace speak on Laurel Hill, his personal work to preserve the site, and the preservation interest of the Brown, Dellenback, Mitchell and Perry families of Ararat. Tom researched "Stuart's Birthplace" for over twenty years. He is the founder of the J.E.B. Stuart Birthplace and holds a B.A. in History from Virginia Tech. Perry is the author of "The Free State of Patrick: Patrick County Virginia in the Civil War" and "Ascent to Glory: The Genealogy of J.E.B. Stuart" and he will have his books for sale if you have not gotten one previously. Tom has a website for those interested in more information?www.freestateofpatrick.com.
