Past Meets Present At West Deptford Library

WEST DEPTFORD, NJ – The West Deptford Library invites all to learn what life was like as a soldier during the Civil War on Saturday.

At 1 p.m. on that date, Ken Serfass will host a discussion titled “A Visit With General Ulysses S. Grant.”

Grant, as many likely know, was head of the Union Army during the war between North and South and later went on to become U.S. President.

Those interested in attending Serfass’ presentation are asked to register with the library ahead of time by calling 856-845-5593.

Earlier this year, the library brought in a speaker who discussed what life was like for Civil War Nurses.
