2016 Fall Chautauqua. The Civil War in North Louisiana. Kevin Adkins.

Kevin teaches at Farmerville Parish High School. He knows the subject. He has been a Civil War Reenacter for 20 years. He is studying to obtain a Master's Degree in History. His lecture gave details about the Civil War infantry regiments raised in this area. He discussed the role of the regiments in the Civil War battles in North Louisiana and around Vicksburg, Mississippi.

His talk sparked a long and lively question and discussion session. Longer than the lecture.

This year's Chautauqua is being held at the Lincoln Parish Museum. There will be a lecture every Tuesday evening in October. Kevin's lecture was the first. All of the lecture subjects are of local historical interest. I hope to attend all of them.

These seats were full for the lecture.
