This weekend, the Mississippi Book Festival is being held at our State Capitol in Jackson.
It's like a large scale lawn party on the Capitol grounds, with various authors conducting book signings ect. about every imaginable subject in the current Mississippi Literary world.
Inside the capitol building, authors hold panel discussions about their works.
One session included Civil War writers.
The writers were all very interesting, and included:
Shelby Harriel, Behind the Rifle: Women Soldiers in Civil War Mississippi
John F. Marszalek, Hold On with a Bulldog Grip: A Short Study of Ulysses S. Grant
Ben Wynne, The Man Who Punched Jefferson Davis: The Political Life of Henry S. Foote, Southern Unionist
Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, Sisters and Rebels: A Struggle for the Soul of America
I thought some may enjoy the CSPAN 2 Book TV broadcast from today, which can viewed at this link:
