Book Talk and Signing at “Gettysburg Acts of Valor” Event in June

Author Derek Maxfield sits outside at a table under a tent. A stack of Hellmira books and a stack of Man of Fire books are on the table in front of him.

In celebration of the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, I attended the “Gettysburg Acts of Valor” event from June 23-25, a three-day re-enactment hosted by the Patriots of the Civil War Association. I had the pleasure of speaking for a lively audience about my book Man of Fire, a biography of General William Tecumseh Sherman written for the Emerging Civil War Series and published by Savas Beatie.

I enjoyed meeting visitors and fellow authors in the authors’ tent on Friday and Saturday!

My next event will be July 11 at 7pm in Charlottesville, VA where I’ll be signing books and speaking about Man of Fire for the Charlottesville Civil War Roundtable. Both Hellmira and Man of Fire will be available for signing and purchase!
