1 SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS-MECHANIZED CAVALRY August 2014 Picture 1. The 15th Annual 2 Dogs Invitational sponsored by the North Carolina Sons of Confederate Veterans Mechanized Cavalry. The first ride on the schedule was to Fort Fisher and the Confederate Monument. There were a total of 19 riders for the first ride on Thursday morning. Located on Battle Acre at the Fort Fisher State Historic Site, this monument to Confederate soldiers is composed of a large bronzed clay eagle perched atop a tall granite column. The column, in Tuscan or simplified Doric style, stands approximately twenty-four feet high. The column rests on a large square base which itself sits on three shallow steps. The front face of the base contains a bronze plaque with the Battle of Fort Fisher depicted in bas-relief. A bronze plaque on the rear is inscribed with the dedication. One side is inscribed on the granite face with a commemoration of the Battle of Fort Fisher on December 24-25, 1864 and January 15, The other side is inscribed with a dedication to the Confederate soldiers who defended the fort. The eagle is depicted with its wings outstretched as it perches on a bronze sphere. The entire structure is mounted on a low rectangular brick platform with four shallow steps leading to the monument. This platform is not original to the installation of the monument. A small stone marker dedicated to "OUR UNKNOWN CONFEDERATE SOLDIER" is located in the brick in front of the monument. An historic black and white photograph shows this plaque located in the grass at some point. Picture 2. Ms. Kelly Hinson portrays Rose O Neal Grenhow, a Confederate Spy during the war of Northern Aggression. Rose O'Neal Greenhow (1813 or 1814 [1] October 1, 1864) was a renowned Confederate spy during the American Civil War. A socialite in Washington, D.C. during the period before the war, she moved in important political circles and cultivated friendships with presidents, generals, senators, and high-ranking military officers. She used her connections to pass along key military information to theconfederacy at the start of the war. In early 1861, she was given control of a pro-southern spy network in Washington, DC by her handler, Thomas Jordan, then a captain in the Confederate Army. She was credited (con pg 2)
2 CONFEDERATE WAR HORSE AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2014 PAGE 2 by Jefferson Davis, the Confederate president, with ensuring the South's victory at the First Battle of Bull Run in late July Captured in August, Greenhow was subject to house arrest; found to have continued her activities, in 1862 after an espionage hearing, she was imprisoned for nearly five months in Washington, DC. Deported to the Confederate States, she traveled to Richmond, Virginia and new tasks. Running the blockade, she sailed to Europe to represent the Confederacy in a diplomatic mission to France and Britain from 1863 to In 1863 she also wrote and published her memoir in London, which was popular in Britain. After her returning ship ran aground in 1864 off Wilmington, North Carolina, she drowned when her rowboat overturned as she tried to escape a Union gunboat. She was honored with a Confederate military funeral. In 1993 the women's auxiliary of the Sons of Confederate Veterans changed its name to the Order of the Confederate Rose in Greenhow's honor. Picture 3. Ms. Kelly Hinson arrives at the Confederate Monument to portray Rose O Neal Greenhow.. Picture 4.

It was a bright sunny day up to this point. Just a half hour later as we were about the leave the sky clouded over and the heavens let loose lightening and thunder followed by a refreshing rain. We skipped our next stop at Oakdale Cemetery where we were scheduled to perform a memorial service for Ms. Rose O Neal Greenhow. We rode back to the host hotel (Surfside). Picture 7. Thursday s morning ride to the Confederate Monument led to a close up group shot of the people who attended the first person interpretation of Rose O Neal Greenhow and a short dissertation on the history of the Order of Confederate Rose and the Mechanized Cavalry.

We got back to the host hotel where the Cheeseburgers were being prepared for an early supper. Picture 9. After the cheeseburger supper we all sat around and listened to a presentation by Bernhard Thuersam, Picture 10.

(below) This Baptist Church in Wilmington was the church chosen to house Rose O Neal Greenhow s body before burial at Oakdale Cemetery. On August 19, 1864, Greenhow left Europe to return to the Confederacy, carrying dispatches. She traveled on the Condor, a British blockade runner. On October 1, 1864, the Condor ran aground at the mouth of the Cape Fear River near Wilmington, North Carolina, while being pursued by a Union gunboat, USS Niphon. Fearing capture and reimprisonment, Greenhow fled the grounded ship by rowboat. A wave capsized the rowboat, and Greenhow drowned. She was weighed down by $2,000 worth of gold sewn into her underclothes and hung around her neck, returns from her memoir royalties. When Greenhow's body was recovered from the water near Wilmington, searchers found a small notebook and a copy of her book Imprisonment hidden on her. Inside the book was a note meant for her daughter, Little Rose. She was honored with a military funeral in Wilmington, North Carolina, and the Ladies Memorial Association, in 1888, marked her grave with a cross that read "Mrs. Rose O'Neal Greenhow. A Bearer of Dispatches to the Confederate Government."

10 CONFEDERATE WAR HORSE AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2014 PAGE 10 Picture 19. At 6 PM on Saturday we were beginning to wind down and had a great sit down with the Pig Pickin with Trimmings. The weather was cooperating with the event. Sure there were some cloudy skies but they usually cleared away. In fact, the little rain that we received during the past four days tended to cool things down. Great food and friendships were served with generous helpings. Next years event will be held in the same place before moving back to Maggie Valley in Picture 20. Prizes and awards were given out after the Pig Picken supper.
