Description

Welcome to the Civil War Book Group!

After years of conflict over the institution of slavery, the Civil War would be the turning point that set the course of the United States into the 20th century and beyond. Join us on the first Thursday of each month as we explore the meaning of the Civil War and how the past has shaped who we are today through a diverse selection of narratives, novels, and histories. In partnership with the Central Rappahannock Regional Library. 

For October: 

Days Without End by Sebastian Barry
6 pm-7 pm
Meet at Fredericksburg Library Branch (1201 Caroline St., Fredericksburg)

Tracing the path of a young Irish immigrant who joins the US Army in his new home, Days Without End is a poetic portrait of a nation in turmoil and an intimate look at a makeshift family in the midst of war.
