Murray, KY – Today, we're beginning another series on the Civil War, this one taking a more broad view of the war in our area. We'll look at the issues, people, places, and events unique to the Four Rivers, and get insights from the experts. We'll also hear from the historical figures themselves, with actors giving voice to their words. We begin with an overview of what our region was like in 1861, and where it stood at the beginning of our nation's defining struggle.
