The Sword in the Wall with Dr. Tim Jacobs
The Sword in the Wall with Dr. Tim Jacobs
A Civil War sword once carried by a soldier from Adams County led to an unexpected journey through his family's history. What began as a genealogical search revealed connections to the Revolutionary War, westward expansion, Indigenous uprisings, the Second Great Awakening, and the family's eventual settlement in Adams County.
This presentation explores how one family's documented history intersects with major events in American history. Come hear this larger than life adventure of one extraordinary sword!
