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 August:
A Woman in a War-Torn Town: The Journal of Jane Howison Beale by Jane Beale
6pm-7:30pm
Meet at Fredericksburg Library Branch (1201 Caroline St., Fredericksburg)
Jane Howison Beale was a Fredericksburg woman whose journal documents her life between 1850 and 1862. This first-hand account not only chronicles Jane's personal experiences, but provides a glimpse into one person's perception of events leading up to and during the Civil War.
