Gates Camp headlines Living History Day
For the sixth consecutive year, teaching re-enactors from Elijah Gates Camp #570, Fulton, Mo., furnished the manpower for the annual Civil War Living History Day sponsored by the Children's Department of the Callaway County Public Library, March 16, 2013. The family-friendly program also benefited from the "womanpower" of the new Reuben H. Bullard Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, who collaborated with Gates Camp in creating a month-long wall display at the library.
