Better than an ‘oldies station’ on the radio


Diane Lovejoy
Diane Lovejoy was one of the dozen or so living historians who took part in a living history weekend at David Hall Cabin in Claxton May 21. Lovejoy played music popular during the 1800s and earlier. She also showed off a “violin diary” of sorts. A Union soldier from Indiana carried a violin with him throughout the Civil War, though he couldn’t play the instrument. On the back of the violin, however, he wrote the dates and names of the battles he was in throughout the conflict. The soldier seemed to have traveled everywhere, most notably the battles he was in starting at Chattanooga to Atlanta and up through the Carolinas and the end of the war.
