Monument Dedication, Richmond KY July 21

This sounds interesting. I may try to make it down for the ceremony. Richmond was one of the more overwhelming Confederate victories of the war, as part of the Confederate Invasion of Kentucky, leading up to the Siege of Cincinnati, with the campaign culminating at Perryville.

Hopefully more people will learn that the battle of Richmond had nothing to do with Virginia.
