Meet the Author – Amy Truesdell

Saturday, November 18 from 11am-2pm come in to meet author Amy Truesdell. She’ll have books for purchase and signing and I’m sure she’d love to talk to folks about researching your family history.

From Binghamton to the Battlefield – The Civil War Letters of Rollin B. Truesdell is an annotated collection of a Union soldier’s letters to family from the battlefields and army camps during the first two years of the war. Rollin mustered into service as an eager recruit and returned home a war-weary, battle-tested veteran disillusioned by the unseemly political machinations of war, yet steadfast in his commitment to victory. With the 100+ letters the Truesdell family preserved as the backbone for the book, Rollin’s great-great-granddaughter wove supporting political and military context around the letters to tell Rollin’s story.
