Bill Bergen Regular listeners of our podcast or our live streaming feed might know Rick Britton. He s a historian and cartographer and a frequent guest on WINA s Charlottesville Right Now with Coy Barefoot. Rick also organizes a Civil War lecture and day-trip series in conjunction with the Charlottesville Senior Center. On Tuesday October 13, 2009, Bill Bergen, an expert on Union Maj. Gen. Horatio Wright, delivered a presentation on General Wright and the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia. Fought on October 19th, 1864, Cedar Creek the last major action in the Shenandoah Valley pitted Confederate Gen. Jubal Early with approximately 15,000 men, against Union Gen. Philip Sheridan s Army of the Shenandoah with about twice that number. Early surprised the Federal force with a pre-dawn attack, and was driving it northward, when Sheridan, who had missed the opening of the fight, famously rode to the sound of the guns, rallied his shaken troops, and led them to an overwhelming victory that helped Lincoln win the 1864 election. This is the seventh and final part of this series for 2009.

Everyone, I would like to introduce one of my best friends Mark Pollard. We have work together on so many projects over the years I could not begin to count the number. I actually took him to the Relic Show at the Cobb Civic Center, and he being a captive guest agreed to be interviewed. It was either that or walk home, so…. he was glad to talk. In this episode we cover the Nash Farm Battlefield and the last battles of the Atlanta campaign of the War Between the States. Please visit the Nash Farm in person or online. I am the Web Master for that site and also serve on the Board of the Friends of Nash Farm. We are very proud of what we have (a pristine Battlefield) and all that we have accomplished.

Instructed by a dream and organized in prayer, Leymah Gbowee and thousands of everyday women in Liberia -- both Christians and Muslims alike -- confronted warlords and a corrupt president to successfully fight for peace and dignity in their war-torn nation. "I realized that every problem we encounter on this journey, I'm going to rise above it and lead these women because they trusted me with their lives and their future," says Gbowee. Journal guest host Lynn Sherr interviews Leymah Gbowee and Abigail Disney, who documented their inspiring tale in the award-winning film Pray the Devil Back to Hell. Lynn Sherr is a long-time broadcast journalist who most recently covered events in Liberia for PBS' news program, WorldFocus.
