Camp 1524 Seeking
Communications Officer/Newsletter Editor - Communications Officer Tyrone
Crowley has asked to retire
from his duties as Camp Communications Officer and Newsletter Editor, so our
camp is seeking candidates for these two duties. The Communications Officer is appointed by
the Commander to handle all matters requiring communication (mainly by email)
with Camp members. The Newsletter
Editor, as the name indicates, has to edit and print the monthly newsletter,
then distribute it by U.S. Mail and email to the Camp members and designated
non-members. Remember the SCV
Charge! If you can handle one or both of
these jobs, step up and offer your services to the preservation of the history
and good name of the Confederate Soldier.
The Official
Records of the War of the Rebellion (official US government name for the
War of 1861-65) are online, thanks to Cornell University. This is a 128-volume set, of which we have a
hard copy up at the Confederate Library at Confederate Memorial Park. The link
to the Official Records, often referred to as the "OR" is http://ebooks.library.cornell.edu/m/moawar/index.html
Communications
Officer Crowley Speaks At Memphis Event - At the re-dedication ceremony of the Jefferson Davis statue at
Confederate Park in Memphis on Saturday 18 October 2014 and at the invitation
of N B Forrest SCV Camp 215, Dragoon Communications Officer Tyrone
Crowley presented a talk on Jefferson Davis and his time in Memphis after
the WBTS (1869-1877), ending with a speech Jefferson Davis made before a joint
session of the Mississippi Legislature in March 1884, a session called specifically
to honor Jefferson Davis and his defense of the Confederacy. This speech represents Jefferson Davis's
final words on his status as the living embodiment of the Confederacy and his
charge to the descendants of Confederates.
