Wes Johnson   For more information, contact Cissy Prevett: the46thnccok@yahoo.com 828-310-0210     May 2011   Members of the 46th NC Co. K "Catawba Braves" set-up a Civil War village in the center of downtown Catawba on May 14-15, 2010.  The re-enactors showed visitors what life was like in the 1860s and presented a variety of demonstration on how men, women and children lived during the American Civil War.    The town of Catawba is located in the eastern part of Catawba County.  It is one of the oldest towns between Salisbury and Asheville, having been selected as an early railroad station.  Trains ran to the town before the War Between the States, beginning about 1859.   The 46th NC Co.
