Mike Pride tonight at the library

Mike Pride, Author of

“Our War: Days and Events in the Fight for the Union”

Hopkinton Town Library

Tuesday

February 19th 7pm

The Civil War remains "Our War" as a nation and a people, but first it belonged to the generation that lived it.

In his new book, Mike Pride, former editor of the Concord Monitor,

uses letters, diaries, and contemporary newspaper accounts to shape fifty stories

of death, love, bravery, and survival.

One story leads to another, and the war unfolds as New Hampshire men and women

lived it from the heady days of 1861 to the bittersweet victory of 1865.

This Program is part of Hopkinton READS 2013! 

We are reading Harriet Beecher Stowe’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.”
