He will discuss some of the hundreds of places throughout Michigan, including Monroe County, which contain monuments, cemeteries, homes, forts and museums connected to the Civil War as well as the amazing stories about Michiganders in the Underground Railroad and the Civil War. Dave will have copies of his book, Michigan Civil War Landmarks, for sale (and will sign!).
