This Thursday, churches, temples, public buildings and others will ring bells for four minutes, symbolizing the four years of the war that threatened to tear our country apart. That day, April 4, will mark the 150th anniversary of the "war between the states."
On this week's show, we'll discuss the Civil War, its end and its effects on Kentucky.
Our guests this week:
Dr. Mason Smith, English Professor at Eastern Kentucky University; Paul Rominger, Managing Director of the Battle of Richmond Association; Dr. Patrick Lewis of the Kentucky Historical Society.
