SUMMARY:Howell Raines talk on "Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta – and THen Got Written Out of History"
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome Howell Raines to our store for a program about his newest book\, Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta — and Then Got Written Out of History. Pulitzer Prize-winning Raines\, a born journalist and storyteller\, comes through with a whale of a tale\, one that shows how the writers of history do sometimes bend that history to their own biases. The book is epic. Michael Eric Dyson calls it “honest and brilliant storytelling at its best.” Mark your calendars for this exciting event on Sunday\, February 4 at 3pm.
