Last summer I introduced readers to a remarkable young man named Richard Warren from Virginia. Richard was a 9-year old Civil War enthusiast who was so touched by the story of Sgt. Richard Kirkland that he portrayed the “Angel of Marye’s Heights” as part of a living-history timeline. His presentation was so well received that Richard continues to expand and perform it today. The Warren family is coming to Fredericksburg this spring and we will be spending the weekend touring our local sites including the Stonewall Jackson Shrine, Chatham Manor, Fredericksburg's historic churches, and of course the Kirkland Monument. Last month I was contacted by a film director from Georgia who is preparing to film a documentary on Sgt. Kirkland. I have been providing the producers with source material and agreed to do an on camera interview to appear in the piece. This morning I put the movie's director Clint Ross in touch with the Warren family as what better way to illustrate the impact of history than by showing how it influences and affects our youth today. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project.
