Howell Raines with Silent Cavalry: How Union Soldiers from Alabama Helped Sherman Burn Atlanta – and Then Got Written Out of History
February 4 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
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 is a born journalist and storyteller, and in this book he 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 to hear about it on Sunday, February 4 at 3pm.
