Renowned stage performer Pippa White presented her newest show “On Our Own Soil” to a large crowd at the Grundy County Museum in Morrison Sunday. White’s one-person show took the audience through the Civil War as she portrayed characters male and female from both the Union and Confederate sides of the battlefield.
