Most of you know me as the "Rocket Guy" from the
rocket club in Pueblo and as the Education Officer for
the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum. I also
participate in Civil War Living History as a member of
the Keeping History Alive Organization. Our unit
depicts the 5th Texas Artillery.
A little known battle of the Civil War occurred
near Beulah Colorado at a place called "Mace's Hole".
There were also battles in New Mexico culminating in
the Battle of Glorieta Pass.
Home School families are encouraged to attend
this free event. Feel free to share this message with
anyone you think might be interested.
