CANTON — The 16th North Carolina regiment Co. E, raised in Burke County, NC, was known as the “Burke Tigers,” and was present at the battles of Sharpsburg, Gettysburg, and Appomattox.

Dallas Robinson will give a first-person presentation in the character of John H. Hines, a member of this company, at the next North Country Civil War Round Table Sunday, Jan. 21, 2 p.m. at the St. Lawrence County Historical Association. Robinson is a veteran Civil War re-enactor living in Norfolk, and gives presentations on the Civil War at local schools and in Masonic Lodges.

Visitors who own items with Civil War provenance are encouraged to bring them to the event for a “show and tell” session before the talk.
