In Honor of Washington’s Birthday

SD CoverOur historian-in-residence, Chris Mackowski, has a new book coming out in a few weeks: Seizing Destiny: The Army of the Potomac’s “Valley Forge” and the Civil War Winter that Saved the Union. Chris co-authored the book with Stafford County historian Al Conner, Jr.

To commemorate George Washington’s birthday, an excerpt of the book is available at Emerging Civil War that talks about this day back in 1863. Both armies saw George Washington as the father of their respective countries–U.S.A. and C.S.A. But both armies had very different ideas about what Washington’s legacy meant.

The book, published by Savas Beatie, will be available the third week of March.
