Civil War historians Allen Guelzo and Jon Grinspan talked about their respective Civil War books. Allen Guelzo talked about the written accounts of soldiers and bystanders who witnessed the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg and Jon Grinspan talked about the “Wide Awakes,” a political movement in the 1860s made up of hundreds of thousands of young, antislavery Northerners. The Radnor Memorial Library and Main Point Books co-hosted this event.
