Richard Lewis and Program Coordinator Bob McHugh
Another great program as Richard Lewis presented "CLOAKED IN MYSTERY: THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE CONFEDERATE COAT" where a wrinkle in a sleeve sent Lewis on a six-year research project that resulted in two articles in Civil War Times magazine and revealed a fascinating surprise.
Lewis is a native of Gulfport, Mississippi, and a graduate of Louisiana State University where he studied Civil War history under Pulitzer Prize-winner Dr. T. Harry Williams. He retired as the Director of Public Relations for the Virginia Tourism Corporation, serves as a volunteer at Richmond National Battlefield Park and is secretary of Civil War Trails, Inc.
