This is the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall near Pittsburgh, PA, with the mission: "to inform, inspire and enrich its diverse communities through library and information services, performing arts and other cultural, educational and community activities."
I'm pleased to share the news that my friend, Michael Aubrecht, will have a screening of his film, The Angel of Marye's Heights, at the Hall on Saturday, November 27, 2010.Michael is a prolific and respected author and historian, with varied interests and expertise, including baseball, Civil War, American Revolution history, and more.
You can read my interview with him about his TERRIFIC book, Historic Churches of Fredericksburg: Houses of the Holy, here.
The Angel of Marye's Heights tells the compelling story of a Confederate soldier’s selfless compassion. In the wake of the devastating December 1862 Battle of Fredericksburg, Sgt. Richard Rowland Kirkland risked his life to provide aid and comfort to the enemy—wounded and dying Union soldiers.
The event includes a conversation with writer/producer (and Pittsburgh native) Michael Aubrecht, and a dessert reception.
