Descendants of the Glorious Dead

The Descendants of the Glorious Dead is a fictional social group featured in the HBO television series True Blood. They were a social organization of elderly citizens of Bon Temps, Louisiana who had an interest in the family genealogies of the town and ancestors who served during the American Civil War. Sookie Stackhouse, on behalf of her grandmother, Adele Stackhouse, asked vampire Bill Compton to share his recollections of the war with the Descendants at a special meeting at the local church. Many of the townsfolk of Bon Temps packed the small church to hear Mister Compton speak. Few however, were interested in hearing stories of the past however, and were more curious about seeing an actual vampire in their midsts.
