Warm introduction and thank you for hosting me. I am so happy to be here. They occupied the house just next door, formerly occupied by Jefferson Davis. It is a story that very few civil war buffs know. Ive given this talk all over the country and people are surprised, they have not heard of him before. Over the next hour i will tell you why he was chosen to enter richmond 150 years ago today. You may remember his name when you walk out of here. The book is actually on sale upstairs in the gift shop. I will be doing a book signing upstairs. If you have a copy of the book there is time to get one. Richmond was captured april 3, 1865. What an understatement that is, to capture the historic event that happened 150 years ago today.

My grandfather george weitzel. He was born in the United States in ohio.
