Fortifications

Selma is once again ready for the Yankees in this 147th year since the Battle of Selma.
 The annual re-enactment is this weekend, and the April 1865 Society has prepared fortifications.
 Unfortunately, on Sunday, the federal cavalry will burn the house 
and spill over the fences to capture the town in one of the last battles
 of the American Civil War. Selma was important to the Confederacy
 as a major manufacturer of arms and munitions.
