The reenactors wish to thank you for joining us and we hope you enjoyed our presentations. We would like to leave you with the following message:
Creed of the Living HistorianWe are the people, to whom the past is forever speaking,
We listen to it because we cannot help ourselves, for the past speaks to us with many voices.Far out of that dark nowhere, which is the time before we were born,
Men and women who where flesh of our flesh and bone of our bone,
Went through fire and storm to break a path to the future.
We are part of the future they died for.
They are part of the past that brought the future.
What they did - the lives they lived, the sacrifices they made,
the stories they toldand the songs they sung and finally,
the deaths they died - make up a part of our experience.
We cannot cut ourselves off from it.
It is as real to us as something that happened last week.
This is why we call ourselves; Living Historians
The Living Historians of The Carolina Foothills Historical Reenactment Society invite you to live the legacy our forefathers left us.
If you enjoy History and feel that the commitments and sacrifices of our forefathers are to be remembered, you are invited to contact:
Sgt. Major Courtney Moser (828) 299-0778

of Stoneman's Raid into Western NC.
Union troops from under Stoneman's command invade the Green River Plantation, looking for contraband, fresh horses, and food. There they encountered Confederate forces, determined to drive them off and protect the Plantation and its valuable crops.
