Welcomes Author and Historian Robert N. Macomber
January 21, 2023 [Saturday] @ 5:30pm
PowerPoint Topic: “The Patriot and The Widow”
(PowerPoint) – This is a fascinating, non-fiction tale of a young
mixed-marriage couple who became pro-Union refugees
on SW Florida’s Useppa Island during the American Civil War.
It’s a story of love, war, the bitter-sweet Christmas of 1863,
and a woman’s incredible resiliency against daunting odds,
with a poignant legacy which has lasted until this very day.
