To begin a five-year commemoration of the sesquicentennial of the Civil War, Linebaugh Public Library will host a special exhibit and speaker each September. Lee Ann Newton, the CEO of Uncle Sam’s Heroes and co-author of Beneath the Shadows, a Civil War fiction, will be here from 2:00 to 4:00 on Saturday afternoon, September 17th. Newton will discuss the causes of the Civil War along with signing her book.

The Stones River Battlefield will provide the September 2011 exhibit held in the library’s 2nd floor reading room, focusing on the war’s beginning. It will be available for viewing throughout the month.
