GROVE HILL REUNION



Descendants of 38th Alabama soldiers gathered in Grove Hill, Alabama, April 1-3, 2005. Harriet Ketchum, a great-granddaughter of the unit's commander, Col. C.T. Ketchum, came all the way from West Texas for this event.

Ladies (some in period costumes) and men (some wearing uniforms) enjoyed a camp supper of cornbread, stew, and beans. Music, dancing, an 1860's fashion show, and flag presentations were highlights of the gathering. More...
