Keven Stonerock in Civil War attire.

By VALERIA FISHER
Adult Program Administrator, Warsaw Community Public Library

The history of the Civil War comes alive when Keven Stonerock presents “Billy Yank – Union Soldier.” He will present an actual soldier from Henry County, Indiana named William H. Fentress.

This presentation is set in the year 1864 with a battle-weary Fentress home on leave from the Union Army. Although the character being portrayed was a real individual, much of the presentation deals with issues or items which would have been common to most northern soldiers of the Civil War.

These include camp life, battlefield experiences, army humor, food, equipment, music, weapons, uniforms and the home front. The program objective is to bring the audience as close as they will ever come to visiting with a real veteran of the War Between The States and to give them a better understanding of the men who wore the blue.

Appropriate for grades four through adult, the program is tailored to meet the needs of each specific audience. This free program will be held at Warsaw Community Public Library at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 9. Please register by calling (574) 267-6011 or going online at www.warsawlibrary.org.
