One Man’s Story Of The Civil War

SOUTHBURY — In the one-person mini-drama The Civil War & Company C – One Soldier’s Story, the historical dramatist Bud Jenkyns brings First Sergeant William Ivan Jenkyns back to life.

Mr Jenkyns will be presenting his production on Wednesday, July 19, at 7:15 pm, at East Hill Woods, 611 East Hill Road.

Mr Jenkyns’ re-enactment is done in period costume and tells the story of his direct ancestor during the Civil War.
