Civil War book fair
LOVELAND, Ohio - The Greater Loveland Historical Society Museum will be site of a gathering of many of the nation's Civil War authors. Fifteen authors who have written about the War Between the States will be present at the Loveland Civil War Book Fair, which will be June 7.
Loveland is in southwestern Ohio near Cincinnati.
The book fair is one of the major events in the museum's five-month Morgan's Raid Exhibit. Confederate General John Hunt Morgan led 2,500 cavalry raiders into Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio in July 1863. The exhibit has many historical artifacts of that raid. Authors from Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will participate in the book fair. Each author has written one or more books on Civil War subjects. They will autograph the books during the fair. The Morgan's Raid Exhibit is on display in the main building, while the book fair will be in the adjoining Joann Richardson History House. The doors will be open from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
