A Conversation with a Soldier – first Person Civil War Account

The Coastal Discovery Museum will host Steve Quick on March 30 at 2 p.m., for this first person account. “On April 10, 1865, a 27 year old Corporal from Marlboro Co. SC stacked his arms at a former stagecoach stop named Appomattox Courthouse. He walked south with his brother “Ebby” to find his home and outbuildings in ashes, his farm in ruins. Stephen Quick had to rebuild his life from scratch. Today his ggg-grandson tells the story of the common farmer turned soldier, the hardships, the humor, the heartbreaks and the horrors that are war. Combining first and third person storytelling, this is a humanizing account designed and refined to connect “our war” to anyone regardless of their level of interest.” Cost is $7 per person and reservations are required by calling 843-689-6767 ext. 223. The Museum is located at 70 Honey Horn Drive on Hilton Head Island. coastaldiscovery.org.
