I left the profession on the advice of my doctor after I had a heart attack in 2008. I am looking to reinvent not only my personal life but, also my reenacting life. I have been a reenactor for 20 years. I was mainly a Confederate Infantryman. I was with the 4th Kentucky (CS) from 1989-2002, The Adair Guard (2002-03) and ran with the 1st Tennessee on and off (never a full member) from 2003-2008. From 2008 to present,I have been looking to build a civilian reenacting persona of a fictitious Southern journalist/correspondent from a small local paper called the Lexington Observer and Reporter.
My 1st person impression mirrors the real life bio fairly closely. After all, my English professors told me, if you are going to write fiction, write what you know.
Professor James K. Bowen was born May 17, 1824 in Lexington, Fayette Co. Kentucky. After matriculation from Columbia Normal School in Columbia,Kentucky in 1841 and from Georgetown College, in Georgetown, Kentucky in 1845, He decided to see as much of the country as possible. He enlisted in the Kentucky Militia, specifically, the Salt River Tigers (Co. C, 2nd Kentucky Infantry) to fight in the war with Mexico. He was wounded in the battle of Buena Vista. Being disabled from any further service due to a shrapnel wounds to the chest that were so near the heart that the surgeons could not safely remove them.He returned home to his beloved Kentucky.
After the war with Mexico and subsequent recovery, The young Professor took his degrees and became a teacher. To be precise, teaching history and applied rhetoric at several institutions and as a private tutor in Central and Northern Kentucky.
In July of 1855, the Professor married Miss Erin Amanda Murphy, the daughter of an prosperous Irish merchant in Lexington. To this union were born Elijah in 1858 and Charles in 1860.
As the war clouds loomed, Professor Bowen sought a change in vocation. Due to the coming war, most young men of school age would be itching to see the elephant.The young ladies of the area, that were of school age would be needed at home to take care of family. This time, his professional ambitions would be directed as a Journalist in Lexington.
Presently, Professor Bowen is a Correspondent for the Lexington Observer and Reporter. Although, Kentucky has officially adopted a policy of neutrality in 1860-61. He is not unsympathetic to the Southern cause. Like many, in Lexington, he believes that Kentucky has many unbreakable ties to the South and promotes these values thru his columns many times to the pleasure of his editor, Mr. D.C. Wickliffe and Gov. Magoffin and the detriment of the Lincoln administration.
