Yesterday, April 12, marked the beginning of one of the saddest events in U.S. history, the Civil War. If you're a Civil War or U.S. history buff always looking for more information, the RVC library has an extensive collection of books on the subject. In fact, we house the LeBron collection of Civil War books, established in 2004 in memory of one of our patrons, Mark A. LeBron.

Come to the Adult Reference Desk where we would be happy to show you this wonderful collection on the war.

The National Parks Service Sesquicentennial Commeration website has information about upcoming events, civil war parks, soldier search and in-depth information.
