Following the Battles of Sailor’s Creek, both Confederate and Union armies passed through the town of Farmville on Friday, April 7, leaving behind a wake of destruction.  On Sunday, Oct. 11, at 2 p.m.,  local author William Thompson will discuss his book “Fiery Friday,” which details the fateful day the Civil War visited Farmville. Each Rocking Chair Reflection program is free; donations to the Friends of Sailor’s Creek Battlefield that helps fund future educational programs are always welcome.
