June 6 at 11:00am-3:00pm : NiNi Harris Book Signing and Meet & Greet

Meet historian and author NiNi Harris at the Missouri Civil War Museum on June 6 from 11am – 3pm!

She will be signing copies of her book, A Most Unsettled State: First-Person Accounts of St. Louis During the Civil War.

“The women who nursed the wounded soldiers, the ministers who were appalled by slavery, and Southern sympathizers whose resentment grew as the Union gained control of St. Louis. They filled their letters, sermons and memoirs with their feelings about what they saw in the streets of St. Louis during the Civil War. A Most Unsettled State features their words and their reactions from disturbing resentments, descriptions of political maneuverings, to moving commentaries on tragic scenes of freed slaves and of maimed soldiers.”
