Well known historian and author, Bud Robertson will be at the Christiansburg Barnes and Noble located at 110 Conston Ave for a book signing on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. He will be there to promote his new book The Untold Civil War. Robertson describes his book as revealing new facets of a seemingly well-known slice of American history, and he says it is just in time to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. The book is dramatically illustrated with images and objects that are from both archives and compelling contemporary photography, this book delivers a surprise on every page: from precious personal mementos to forgotten battle sites. This book adds a new dimension to our understanding of the Civil War and is a must have for anyone with an interest in American History.
