Gettysburg Sacred Trust

Greetings all! This may be something of an early warning shot...but for those of you trying to figure out what to do with your time this summer - allow me to suggest a trip to Gettysburg...say in early July. For starters, you can check out the battlefield on the 152nd anniversary of the fight, which is sure to be a carnival-like affair. And, you can check out the Gettysburg Sacred Trust Talks and Book Signings, of which I am happily part. Yes, on July 3rd promptly at 7:00 PM, I will take the stage with some fine historians to discuss my book, Across the Bloody Chasm, and speak with the audience about the various ways veterans told their war stories. After that, we can shoot the shit while I sign your very own copy of my book. I promise to keep my contribution to this event as non-academic and non-conference like as possible. I find all of that esoteric nitwittery pretty close to useless anyway.

The event schedule has made me happy that I am sticking around for a few days to take in the sights - and get busy with some Civil War history.

I hope to see you there.

With compliments,

Keith
