Joe Brown Bivouac, U.C.V. 4E121 |
|
|
In 1898, the Joe Brown Bivouac, United Confederate
Veterans, was established as a social, historical, and benevolent
organization. It was named in honor of Joseph Brown of
Covington, who in 1864 was mortally wounded at the Battle of
Harrisburg, Mississippi. For years the Bivouac sponsored the
Brighton Confederate Reunions and assisted indigent
veterans. In 1934, the members donated their assets to the
Covington Board of Education as an endowment for the school
libraries. This fund was liquidated in 1993.
