Guest Editorial: Friends of Boca Grande looking for Civil War Stories

Please note a change of deadline for the Civil War Memories book. February 2 will now be the last day that articles will be accepted for publication in Civil War Memories.

The book, commemorating the Friends of Boca Grande Community Center’s Civil War Symposium in April, features family stories passed down through generations of families and friends of Boca Granders.

There is no limit to the length of submissions. They may be many pages or may be as short as one sentence.  

All submissions will be edited and then returned to the sender for approval before inclusion in the publication.

For more information, please contact Barbara Edgerton, 964-2483, bbe@jerryedgerton.com; or Sandy Jacobs, 964-2685, sandybgfl@comcast.net.

The week-long opportunity to learn, explore, and experience our Civil War history from people who are passionate about telling the stories using oral histories, historical letters, research, literature, photography, movies, music, theatre, art, and poetry has been sold out. It will be held April 22 through the 26.
