last time i was in fredericksburg was back when my wife and i lived in maryland in 1996 and i remember then all the antique stores, and today i went down to fredericksburg and they're still there and it's a lot of fun. but, anyway, thanks for coming out tonight. i know it's kind of a tough situation. i'm just getting back into the swing of giving talks. i've given about 40 or 50 zoom talks over the past two years. and now i'm just starting to give talks in person. so this is really a thrill for me to have an audience. pirates have long been among the most colorful and memorable celebrities in popular culture. a lot of that has to do with books that use pirates as a motif. the most famous example of that, of course, is robert lewis stevenson's treasure island, which was published in 1883. stevenson weaves a wonderfully dramatic tale of the search for pirate treasure, replete with a map of skeleton island where an x marks the spot where the treasure is to be found. treasure island is also the book that gave us that familiar sea shanty refrain, 15 men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a

course, it was a little upsetting, a little depressing a disappointing that i was coming here to fredericksburg, a city that i have been to before and do really enjoy. and i was going to be in this empty room i said to my wife, i said yesterday before i got on the plane should, i even bring my shoes. should i even plan to wear pants up there? it's fortunate really for all of us that my wife told me, yes. so it's really great to be here. and i'm going to be speaking tonight about my book and really excited to finally share it with you. but before we get into that i want to start with a confession. of sorts. and that is i don't really like to fly. i don't like turbulence. i don't like the little sounds that a plane makes for seemingly inexplicable reasons in the middle of a flight. and i really don't like takeoff. that moment where your barreling down the runway. so fast that as you take off into the air you can feel the weight of the air in the plane on your as you move further and further away on the ground. i really don't like that feeling at all. now i do like to travel for pleasure in normal

that they found the streets of fredericksburg. we are doing fredericksburg, you know. but it's not. not yet others collecting those things and until a while after the war i think. how did world war one affect the nature and approach to buying and selling the civil war? i'd say it was about over by that time. i mean you see some ads still. with the old increasingly old veterans, there's one. i guess we have in the book of a cult firearms pistol being shown two old veterans. for some reason they thought they'd be experts i guess but when the sacramento i mean all the stuff that we talked about in the book are pretty much. i mean the trading cards a little bit show up, but not much and and not in this book but in the book i have heard about memory. i talk about a union beer. that is marketed and sold as union blogger. i'm following during and following world war one as a means of reconciliation of kind of pulling everyone together. so that's but we didn't really we really kind of stopped in the the first decade or two, but i do play century. i do think you know in the later, i mean the

and how would you do that well because this place come down from fredericksburg and joined them and he does it. but, johnson sees an opportunity here. member carranza becomes impassable will the union army had built a series of bridges, nothing right. but recently enough, they get washed out. and he said if i have it wash out, notice can you will see at. okay, the way t front calle seven pines and one of his divisions is 1 mile further towards the cy in a place called santon some fear for their from the public library and sent in, that ist. that entire battlefield family has lost and is a shame. but he can hit the keys, i can crush keys in the fourth or maybe a forced him to pull back is really good plans of what he will do and still have the street and right there, a mile long road see if i can advances. it's a 9-mile road and then get to the seven pines. then he'll good on the williamsburg road to seven pines benjamin is going to go down and come up and hit the seven pines from the south. that's a great plan really. any sensitive motion heavy rains hit on may 31 and he launches the a
