Autobiography of Old Claib Jones - Expanded Edition (ePub)

Marlitta H. Perkins studied photography and print making at Columbus College of Art and Design. After visiting the grave of her gg-grandfather, a Civil War veteran in the 14th KY Infantry, the focus of her work dramatically shifted from artistic pursuits to historic research of the Civil War, with an emphasis on Eastern Kentucky. Her work has appeared in various publications over the years. She also designed and maintains a website on the 14th Kentucky Infantry (US). Ms. Perkins has participated as panelist in Civil War seminars and round tables and designed a number of Civil War exhibits. As co-founder and trustee of the Buffington Island Battlefield Group, Inc. she was actively engaged in historic preservation. "Slavery in Eastern Kentucky," her groundbreaking research about antebellum African-Americans in the Eastern part of the state, was published in 2013. This was followed by "The Most Brilliant Little Victory," a history of General Nelson's military operation in Eastern Kentucky in 1861. Additionally, she edited and published "Adventures, Struggles, Trials and Services of the 5th Regiment, Virginia Volunteer Infantry." She continues to contribute research to her blog "Eastern Kentucky and the Civil War." Ms. Perkins maintains an author page on facebook.
