Louisville, the Ohio Valley and the Civil War

February 28, 2010 By: bryan Category: Book Sales/Availability, Book Signings, Bryan's Appearances, Louisville in the Civil War

My Dear Fellow Readers:

On March 26-27, the University of Louisville Arts and Sciences Department will hold a symposium on Louisville during the first two years of the Civil War. Many of my friends and fellow colleagues were shocked to find out that I was not asked to present a paper on Louisville During the Civil War, considering I wrote the book Louisville During the Civil War: A History and Guide, which by the way in in its second printing. Luckily I will be able to share a table with the Carnegie Center and hopefully have people join the Louisville Historical League and buy my book on Louisville During the Civil War. I will be attending the conference since I met so many of my fellow friends and colleagues at the last conference.

Peterson Ave. from 12 noon to 3 pm. There will also be a discussion panel at 12:15. So come out and have fun and meet the authors.

My Dear Fellow Readers:

I have added a new book signing for October. On October 6, at the Meade County Library at 6 PM I will be giving a lecture and book signing on Union General Stephen Gano Burbridge. Guerilla warfare ravaged Meade County and General Burbridge personally became involved in the executions of suspected guerillas for the guerilla activity in Meade County. I am also having a radio interview at 11 am that same day, so stay tuned for further developments. Also, Perryville has confirmed that I will be doing a lecture on Lincoln and the Speeds and a book signing at the Perryville Battlefield on Saturday Oct. 11 at noon.

Bardstown Civil War Museum

On August 22, at 5:15 Pm I will be signing my two new books on Lincoln and the Speeds and Union General Stephen Gano Burbridge. I will also be unveiling my newest DVD on the tour of the Civil War Museum in Bardstown, Kentucky. The museum is 10,000 square feet and has been ranked the 4th best Civil War museum in the United States. If you have not been I highly recommend the museum. The artifacts alone will knock your socks off. The entire cast of the Broadway Play “The Civil War” will also be at the museum to kick off their play at the Stephen Foster Amphitheater. This looks like a fun event and the museum is open to the public. Hope to see everyone there.

Springfield, Kentucky

My Fellow Readers:

As you may have noticed I have not posted recently on the blog. I have super busy the last couple of weeks. If you have not caught my interview on NPR on State of Affairs, I recommend going to their web site and listening to the interview on my book Lincoln and the Speeds. I was also in Rowan County and did a presentation on General Burbridge. I was really welcomed by the historical society, and had a good time talking to the residents of the county. They have already invited me to come back and do another lecture. Today, I will be in Springfield, Kentucky signing books at the Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks re-enactment of the their wedding at the Lincoln Homestead. I will be there at 2:30 pm, so come on out and see a historic re-enactment and enjoy the beautiful weather.  This coming weekend I will be in Chicago, Illinois and will be doing a virtual booksigning at the Abraham Lincoln Bookstore on Saturday at 12 noon. After that I have a break for the hot days of July, then I will start up again in August. Keeping looking at the web site, we should have another article soon on Guerilla Warfare in Kentucky.

On edit: Here’s a link to the article: “Guerilla Warfare in Kentucky”.
