Come to the Caldwell Public Library Thursday night, June 17 at 6:45 p.m. as John Zinn, Chair of NJ Committee for the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, speaks about the committee’s new book, New Jersey Goes to War: Biographies of 150 New Jerseyans Caught Up in the Struggle of the Civil War, including Soldiers, Civilians, Men, Women, Heroes, Scoundrels – and a Heroic Horse. For more information about the book go to www.njcivilwar150.org and for more information about Mr. Zinn go to www.zinnbooks.com. (Special Note: John was an integral part of the finale of The Big Read of the Poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow when he and his wife joined in on the Boy Scout Trip to Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts the weekend of May 14-16th. He spoke to the scouts about vintage baseball in advance of their game with the Melrose Pondfeilders. Henry WL would have been most delighted with this fab finale!)
