Local Author Mark Hughes will be at the museum to talk about the stories of local people involved in and affected by the Civil War. Widely recognized as the authority on Civil War cemeteries, Mark is the only author to publish books on both Union and Confederate cemeteries. His books include: "Bivouac of the Dead", "The Unpublished Roll of Honor", and "Confederate Cemeteries" (2 vols.), and "The New Civil War Handbook". He is currently about to release his latest book on the subject, "Confederate Soldiers in the American Civil War," which he hopes to have at this event. Mark will talk about how he researched local people from the time period and share some of the stories he has learned. A book signing will follow his talk.
