Voices of the American Civil War Discussion Series begins Wednesday

21 Aug

This year marks the sesquicentennial of the American Civil War, and it is a historical marker that still paints the way American’s view themselves and their country. Behind the politics are the people who lived through the events. Voices of the American Civil War is an exploration of their  writings in an attempt to gain insight and understanding. I hope you will join us on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Caledon Library (slurl) for this discussion series.

The first discussion takes place Wednesday, August 24 at 4 pm PDT/SLT
