Avenel The Motion Picture – The 2012 Release

The 2012 release of the film. Based on the true history of the home, found in the official documentary of the historic Avenel House PORTRAIT OF A PLANTATION (also available here on Amazon from Confederate Pictures), this film explores the lives of the Burwell Family as seen through the eyes of Captain Joshua Thomas Beauregard, a fictionalization of the real Captain Frank Clarke, who was Letitia Burwell’s actual fiance during the Civil War (Source: Lucy Breckinridge of Grove Hill, also available from Amazon). Captain Clarke was wounded several times, and the marriage did not take place… this account follows this fact, but Captain Beauregard is really a personification of Letitia’s true love, the American South. plantation.yolasite.com. Miss Letitia’s actual ghost photo (fully materialized, taken on November 1, 2003 by George Roland Wills) is available on the PORTRAIT OF A PLANTATION DVD.
