Why did Abraham Lincoln sneak into Washington for his inauguration? Why did Robert E. Lee resign from the U.S. Army? Did you know the Civil War cost the Union side more than $6 million dollars and the Confederate states around $3 million dollars?
To mark the 150-year anniversary of the start of the Civil War, historian Kenneth C. Davis will visit Old Worthington Library, 820 High St., via Skype on Tuesday, Dec. 6 at 7 pm to discuss the war, including important personalities and battles.
Davis, who has written for the "New York Times" and contributed to NPR's "All Things Considered," is the bestselling author of "Don't Know Much About History," "Don't Know Much About the Civil War" and "America's Hidden History."
In his popular Don't Know Much About (DKMA) series, he takes on topics like the Bible, literature and mythology. He also tackles subjects like American history, Earth, space, Presidents and world myths in his DKMA series for kids.
