Three Vignettes of the "Stonewall Regiment"

INTRODUCTION

These Vignettes of the "Stonewall Regiment" were presented by Bill Christen, Living Historian, and Lifetime Member of the 17th, at the April 4, 2004 General Membership Meeting.  Bill suggested that not only are these stories interesting historically, they also have the possibility of being incorporated into living history scenes  performed by today's "17th's Living Historians" at Civil War re-enactments.
