     July 2020 - This is our introduction to Jacob Bradford, his march in the Tennessee & Virginia Railroad Campaign, and his death in the Battle at Cloyd's Mountain.

    August 2020 - Here we've included some of the "other stories" related to the Battle of Cloyd's Mountain - a mix of the genealogical, the humorous, and the unbelievable.

    September 2020 - Learn more about Jacob Bradford's "Company F" of the 14th WV Volunteer Regiment.  

    October 2020 - American Flag is installed at the South Fork Church Cemetery.
