A celebration of history: 87 years later, Private Mitchum gets memorial

Via Billy Bearden

 Soldier memorial
The memorial was a concerted effort of the Pine Hill Indian Tribe, Keepers of the Word (Native American Ministry), Carolina Indian Heritage Association, Sons of the Confederate Veterans Rivers Bridge Camp 842 and HL Hunley Camp 143 from Summerville.
On June 1 a long-overdue memorial service was held for Confederate Private Henry Mitchum, who was a Native American from Ehrhardt.

The ceremony was held at the Mitchum-Chassereau Cemetery near Ehrhardt.

    Chief Mitchum lied about Pvt. Mitchums Confederate records. He never went out west. He never fought with General Stand Watie.
