From the office of Mayor Kim McMillan:

“Fort Defiance, which overlooks the confluence of the Red and Cumberland Rivers, was a cornerstone of the Confederate defense of the area and, subsequently an important part of the eventual Union occupation of Clarksville.  In 1982, Judge Sam Boaz and his wife, Dee, donated the property to the City of Clarksville. In 2008, the City secured a 2.2 million dollar federal grant that was combined with local funding and the process of construction of the interpretive center and walking trails began.”

The opening of the park coincides with the Civil War’s 150th anniversary. Reenactors will be there demonstrating several different skills such as  cannon firing, quilting, cartridge rolling, herbal medicine and more.

Activities on Saturday start at 10 a.m. and end at 4 p.m.  Activities on Sunday begin at 1 p.m. and end at 4 p.m.

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

First, please let me apologize for my tardiness in having these pictures to you. I stated that they would be ready in 2 weeks, but they were not. I am sorry for the delay.

Here is the link to view all of the photos Fort Defiance Civil War Ball 2010

Due to the amount of photos being uploaded, I had to upload at a lower quality. The preview photos on my website will give you an idea of the quality of the photos. Also, please understand that these are for viewing only and are still under copyright. Once you have purchased your photo you may share it as you please.

Along with the link to view ALL of the photos I am enclosing with this e-mail my Photo Order Form. If you wish to purchase any prints please print and fill out the order form, and mail it to the address listed on the form WITH your amount paid in full. I will not be able to process any orders unless I have the full amount in either check or cash form so please mail that in with your order form.

For each print there is a duplicate in Sepia. When ordering, if you wish to have your print in Black and White, please specify which print in the “Add. Info” box. Also, you will notice for the first 3 photos there is a color copy, a sepia copy and a sepia copy with a shading (vignette) around the edges. If you want your portrait to have a vignette, please specify that in the “Add. Info” box.

If you wish to order and do not own a printer, please e-mail or telephone me your address so I can mail an Order Form out to you.

I so enjoyed going through these and seeing how much fun you all had! It was a privilege to be able to capture these moments for you all.

There are always two people in every picture: the photographer and the viewer.
