The second weekend of September, the Friends of Middle Creek get together and re-enact the Battle of Middle Creek, which was fought in Floyd and surrounding counties during the American Civil War. In 2006, Floyd Davis decided the history of Floyd County needed to be shared with others and decided to start the re-enactment and Friends of Middle Creek. It started when my son Patrick and some of his friends at Moorhead became members of the Fifth Kentucky and one night my son came home and announced that we were having a living history at it. In 2007, the Friends of Middle Creek became incorporated and information was gathered in order to create a script for the re-enactment. Just at the Battle of Middle Creek, we had a future president of the United States that commanded. We had a hero of the Spanish-American War. We had a future racehorse barn owner who was one of the commanders of the Southern Troops in MacGolfan County. So, you know, all this rich history was on the verge of just evaporating away. While Davis is one of five founding members and doesn't consider himself one of the higher-ups in the group anymore, he still plays a huge part in making sure the history is passed on. I don't re-enact that's something I leave for the younger people to do, but I considered my job to be to organize and I helped the younger members to manage money, to get community organizations together, to get resources and to make sure that we stayed within the letter of the law and to be sure that we keep the history and the spirit of the history of the Civil War in eastern Kentucky alive. The Friends of Middle Creek meet on the third Thursday of each month at the First United Methodist Church in Prestonsburg. Reporting in Prestonsburg for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
