Books: November 2007 Archives

I will be telling stories from and signing copies of my new book, Human Interest Stories of the Gettysburg Campaign, Volume 2, Friday night, December 7, at 7:00 p.m. This free event will be held at the York Emporium on West Market Street in York (plenty of free parking!). Refreshments will be complimentary, courtesy of Jim and Pam Lewin.

25% of the proceeds from this event will be donated to Historical York & Architectural Warehouse to help preserve and protect some of York County's historic properties.

And, while you are there, please check out the great selection of inexpensive used Civil War books! They make great Christmas gifts.

Jim Lewin is the owner of the York Emporium, a fine (and sprawling) used book store on West Market Street in downtown York. He hosted a Civil War event back in September complete with reenactors, authors, speakers, and all sorts of interesting events and demonstrations. Jim is a published author, with several books to his credit.

I stopped by the York Emporium on Sunday afternoon to discuss my upcoming book signing, and he graciously gave me a copy of his new book for me to review. It's really interesting! Here is my review of his book that I wrote for amazon.com.

Dennis Brandt's fascinating new book

This month's regular meeting of the York Civil War Round Table (formerly the White Rose Civil War Round Table) will be at the York County Heritage Trust's headquarters on East Market Street in York at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14. Red Lion author Dennis Brandt will present a PowerPoint show on the 87th Pennsylvania, an infantry regiment with strong ties to York and Adams counties. The talk is based upon his interesting recent book, From Home Guards to Heroes: The 87th Pennsylvania and Its Civil War Community.

ADMISSION IS FREE!! Why not come hear one of York County's finest regimental historians discuss some of the men who helped defend the Union?
