As our country prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, Visit Hardy and WordPlay bookstore are partnering to present History Speaks, a series of author talks exploring America’s history and fight for nationhood. History Speaks events will be held in the Family Life Center at Duffey Memorial Methodist Church, 100 N. Elm Street, in Moorefield, West Virginia. These free events provide an opportunity for the community to meet authors and historians, learn about their research, and hear how the introduction of diverse ethnic traditions and international events not only impacted colonial coastal towns and cities but also America’s rural Backcountry.
The series kicks off on Sunday, April 12, at 2:00PM when author Gabriel Neville discusses his book, The Last Men Standing: The 8th VA Regiment in the American Revolution. After years of research, Neville reveals the true and fascinating stories of the 8th Virginia Regiment’s soldiers–from their lives as immigrant children to their last days on the frontier. Every identifiable man who served in the regiment is included.
