“Prepared to do my whole duty”: Elisha Hunt Rhodes in War and Peace
The Civil War letters and diary
of Pawtuxet native Elisha Hunt Rhodes were made nationally famous by Ken
Burns’ acclaimed PBS documentary The Civil War. This exhibit, to be
displayed at the MOWC through August 22, showcases materials received by the
RIHS two years ago as part of a very significant gift from a Rhodes
descendant. The opening reception for RIHS members and special guests will
feature performances from the Providence Brigade Band and light refreshment.
The exhibit will open to the general public the following day.Please RSVP by
calling 401.769.9675 or by emailing aconway@rihs.org.
This
exhibit is made possible through a generous grant from the John H. Chafee
Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor Commissioners.
