Starting with the background of the key players of Lords Cardigan and Lucan and ending with the Pyrrhic success of the charge itself, this lecture will give meaning to Tennyson’s demand that the “folly” is still worthy of honor.

Evan Wilson

In 1980, Evan and his wife, Leslie, bought a large 8000 sq.ft. arts and crafts home to have a greater effect on college students through hospitality and conversation. The Big Haus is a Christian boarding house and philosophy and arts ministry, through which have traveled over 300 students and the Wilson’s own four children. Mr. Wilson has also pastored All Souls Christian Church for 18 years and teaches seminars in Christian social philosophy and antiquities. In educational circles he has both taught at Montrose Academy and Logos School. While serving many years on the SCL board he has spoken at their’s and other educational conferences on historic and philosophic topics.
