Civil War Book Discussion at the Library

When Johnny Comes Marching Home, a Civil War Book Discussion

In honor of the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, we invite you to relive a part of our history in "When Johnny Comes Marching Home", a Civil War Book Discussion. Little has fascinated our country as much as this war has. Follow the war from the tension just before the Secession to the bloodiest battle we as Americans have ever seen. Learn not only about the people, places and things involved, but about how it is all still relevant today. Our guest scholar will be local author Matthew Bartlett, who has written two books on the battle of Gettysburg.

This month's book is The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane. Registration is suggested.
