.CWPT New Morris Island Campaign New Morris Island CampaignDear Fellow Preservationist, I hope your summer is going well. Events here at the Civil War Preservation Trust have not slowed down for a second. If anything, we are busier than ever, which is how it should be. I just wanted to alert you as to a new and remarkable battlefield preservation opportunity at Morris Island in South Carolina, site of the charge of the 54th Massachusetts regiment immortalized in the movie "Glory." My mailed missive will have all of the details but, essentially, we're looking to protect 117 acres and with the matching funds we have in place, CWPT can multiply every $1 you send and turn it into $30! That's one of our biggest "return-on-investment" multipliers we have ever had. I wanted to let you know that you have access to our online Morris Island appeal today. There you will find not only my expanded letter to CWPT members, but also CWPT and historical maps of the region, an in-depth history of the assault on Battery Wagner, photos - both modern and historical - useful website links, and even a quiz to test your Morris Island knowledge. And of course, if you are so moved, you can quickly and safely make your donation to our Morris Island effort directly from the site. So where can you get this kind of advanced access to this Morris Island preservation opportunity? You can either visit our website at www.civilwar.org or click on the special weblink below: www.civilwar.org/MorrisIsland08 If you can possibly help with this project, I hope you will click on the link above, and help CWPT save Morris Island. Thanks again for your support and commitment! Jim Lighthizer More Than 25,000 Acres Saved |
