On A Roll - DVD
Tom Perry's new DVD Stoneman's 1865 Raid is available. Part of its
proceeds will go to the Bassett Historical Center building fund. Buy it
HERE or on AMAZON.
This DVD contains 2 programs by historian Thomas D. Perry recorded at the
Bassett Historical Center. The first is about the March-April 1865 Raid
by Union General George Stoneman through NC and VA, which came through Patrick,
Henry and Surry Counties in April 1865 just as the Civil War was ending.
Stoneman's men came through Mount Airy on the day R. E. Lee evacuated Richmond,
VA, and left Martinsville and Taylorsville, now Stuart, on the day Lee surrendered
at Appomattox - April 9, 1865. The second program is about the life of Brevet
Brigadier General William J. Palmer, one of Stoneman's subordinate officers
during the raid. More info on all of "Sheriff" Perry's books
