Nashville moves backwards on Civil War Preservation
14 July 2017 Update: Letter to the Nashville Mayor by the Civil War Trust CWT Comments – Fort Negley
8 July 2017:
Almost 20 years ago, I submitted Fort Negley to the Civil War Preservation Trust as one of this most endangered sites in the United States. It was selected #1. The Purcell administration had an immediate response to resuscitate the moth-balled city park. In December 2004 it reopened after 60 years.
Ray Steele says
Keep up the good work Bob. It’s not going unnoticed.
Bob Henderson says
Sometimes I wonder. Thanks Ray.
Clay Bailey says
Thank you Bob for all that you have done and are doing, and for urging others to also stand up and do their part. Inaction is a cancer to representative government. I enjoyed speaking with you the other day and appreciate your efforts past and present.
Bob Henderson says
Thank you Clay. It was encouraging to meet you, and so many others that share my passion for this special historical shrine. In the words of one of my great uncles from that horrible war:
nil de·spe·ran·dum

do not despair; never despair
