| Eighteen-year-old Chris Wall donated a Civil War exhibit to the West Pasco Historical Society in July 2003. The collection was Wall's Eagle Scout project. Wall, a Mitchell High School graduate, became fascinated with Civil War history after learning two of his ancestors - brothers Robert and James Shelton - served in the 21st North Carolina Infantry. He says he plans to major in history at St. Petersburg College. A St. Petersburg Times article about the exhibit is here. |
