June 19, 9:00 am: - Hollywood Cemetery history hike

Much of the focus of this Hollywood Cemetery history hike will be of graves away from the James River. Here are some things you'll learn on this hike. \- How could J\. E\. B\. Stuart's receding chin have precipitated events that nearly changed the course of American history? \- What did General "Extra Billy" Smith do at Gettysburg that caused him to abruptly resign his military commission in the Confederate Army? -How did Elizabeth Glasgow become famous? \- What two things did the first President of what became the University of Richmond do that almost got him fired? \- Why is the question of who was the first Confederate to fall in battle so convoluted? \- Who is she and what are the two things about Catherine Hodges that makes her unique at Hollywood Cemetery? Please park in the gravel area near the Glade (Go past the office, turn right at the bottom of the hill, and take an immediate right into the Glade area). On-street parking is also available on surrounding streets. Do not park in the lot directly outside of the gates nor in the designated parking spots to the right of the cemetery office. Walk back to the cemetery entrance where the Meetup will begin
