About the event

Dusty Owens is a native of Florence County. He graduated from Francis Marion University and served for twenty years in the United States Army. Formerly the head of the Florence County Emergency Management Department, he currently serves as a Methodist Minister. Owens has had a lifelong interest in history.

He will also share information from other historians and his own thoughts on the battle.
