The summer is here!  We will be attending several great shows this summer.  The Columbia, South Carolina show is June 12 - 13.  Unfortunately due to a prior commitment we will only be able to attend on Saturday, June 12.  The Gettysburg Summer Show is June 26 - 27.  It is alway a great show.  July is always slow but August cranks it up again.  The Marietta, Georgia Civil War Show is August 14 - 15 and the North South Trader Civil War Show held in Richmond, Virginia is August 21 - 22.  We will be at all these shows.  There is also a new show in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee on August 28 - 29,  We will be at this show on Saturday, August 28 only.

Another great Civil War collector has fallen to the Grim Reaper.  Arthur Brewer of Durham, North Carolina passed on December 10, 2008.  You can see many of Arthur's collection in the early Civil War collectable books.  His early passion was bowie knifes but later his interest became UCV items.  Arthur was a member of the SCV and we wish his family our sympathy.  If you ever talked to Arthur he would always tell you to have "A Dixie Day".  We will miss Arthur.

It is with great sadness that I announce the death of Len Benson.  After a fight with cancer, Len died Saturday, December 27, 2008 at his home.   He died peacefullly and never suffered.  Len was a great Civil War dealer and we will miss him terribly.  You can read his obituary at earlefuneralhome.com.  The family has asked all memorials be sent to the Gettysburg Preservation Trust.  The funeral is Friday, January 2, 2009.
