History and Education Committee 2010 Honors Winners<br />

This item arrived too late for inclusion in the final 2010 edition of the<br />

<strong>Skirmish</strong> line. We include it here.<br />

Each year the N-SSA History and Education Committee recognizes<br />

both an individual and team that have worked to educate the public<br />

about the War Between the States.<br />

Contributions to this effort are recognized through the Lee Wallace<br />

History Award and often cover several years of work. Reports are retained<br />

and reviewed each year. Award winners are announced during<br />

opening ceremonies at the Fall National <strong>Skirmish</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> 2010 Individual Award was presented at the 2010 Fall National by<br />

Committee Chairman John Zebelean to Mark Dennis, lst Maine Heavy<br />

Artillery, while the Unit Award went to the Dismal Swamp Rangers.<br />

With the Civil War Sesquicentennial Observance upon us, there are<br />

numerous opportunities to make presentations in our communities<br />

about the War. Talks to schools and participation in public ceremonies<br />

are typical venues to talk to people who in many instances know little<br />

about the events of 1861-65.<br />
