The City of Falls Church continues its celebration of the U.S. semiquincentennial with a talk by local author Jared Peatman. He will be at Mary Riley Styles Public Library to discuss his new military history book “A Hell of a Regiment: To Gettysburg and Beyond with the Twentieth Maine.”
“A Hell of a Regiment” chronicles one Union Army infantry unit’s exploits during the American Civil War. In true underdog fashion, the 20th Maine originated as a wayward collection of volunteers before attaining renown for its prowess in combat, particularly at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Bards Alley will have copies available for purchase and a post-discussion book signing. Free registration is required through Mary Riley Styles here: https://www.mrspl.org/event/draft-july-author-talk-jared-peatman-32525
