Author talk and book signing! Saturday, December 2.
On Saturday, December 2 at 2:00 author Carolyn Ivanoff will be at the Danbury Museum and Historical Society for a book program and signing for her book We Fought at Gettysburg. The program will focus on twelve men from the regiment. These men fought for their lives, lost friends, and suffered themselves at Gettysburg. Their sacrifices are still with us today and from them we inherited great social and medical advances. Because of their sacrifices we understand the hidden costs of war, and that not all wounds are visible. Their stories illustrate the meaning that their lives and experiences have for our generation today.
This event is FREE and open to all and books will be available to purchase.
