Come listen as author Al Arnold talks about his journey of unveiling his connection to America's Civil War. In his self-published biography about the life and service of Turner Hall, Jr., his great-great grandfather, Al reveals the path taken on his journey of discovering the truth of his family's Confederate background.
On Tuesday, April 10 at 7pm at the Tennessee Genealogical Society's office at 7779 Popular Pike in Germantown, Al will talk about his book, Robert E. Lee's Orderly - A Black Man's Confederate Journal, and his search in understanding the complexities of his ancestor's service to the Confederacy. A descendant of slaves, Al discovers his ancestor was not only a slave of General Nathan Bedford Forrest, but that he also served as a body servant for two Confederate soldiers and as an orderly for General Robert E. Lee and he was proud of his service to the Confederacy!
