In April 2005, the Charlottesville Municipal Band debuted the Daily Progress March. That meant that the Daily Progress finally had something in common with papers such as the Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune. Nellysford composer Paul T. Richards scored a rousing march for the Media General-owned newspaper which was first performed in front of a crowded house at Piedmont Virginia Community College’s Dickinson Theatre. We were there to bring you this report.

On Wednesday, June 17th, Scott Harris, Director of the New Market Battlefield Park, delivered a presentation on the Battle of Kernstown, Virginia, (which took place just south of Winchester in the Shenandoah Valley). Fought on March 23rd, 1862, this battle pitted Jackson with 4,000 men against Union Col. Nathan Kimball in command of approximately 9,000. Although Jackson was defeated, the battle led the Lincoln administration to make strategic errors that greatly benefited the Confederacy.

This is part three of a seven part series. The event is held every third Wednesday at the Charlottesville Senior Center.
