<p align="center"><b><i><font size="4" color="#800000">Ellis Noval was
an unheralded hero of the Civil War era. The little we know of Ellis is
learned by word of mouth accounts and seldom verifiable; however, he is
attributed with having considerable skill, talent and imagination. And
so the story goes...</font></i></b></p>
<p><font size="2" color="#800000">Ellis Noval, it seems, was a gunsmith
who was called into service during the Civil War and was assigned to
provide services to Robert E. Lee and the troops reporting directly to
him. Ellis was also a talented musician and noting the significant
downtime in waiting between battles and the effect it was having on
morale, Ellis used his skill and imagination to render his contribution
to the cause.</font>
<center>
<font size="2" color="#800000">He took his black powder long rifle,
hollowed the stock, attached a bridge, mounted some strings (we don't
know how many) and fashioned a slide guitar. And out of concern for the
morale of his fellow soldiers and friends, he played songs that took
them back to more pleasant places in their memories.</font>
<p><font size="2" color="#800000">That's how we understand it happened
and it is in keeping with this spirit that the band 'Ellis Noval' has
committed to use it's talents, skill and imagination to raise the morale
of new friends by playing familiar tunes that take them to pleasant
places in the heart ...</font></td>
