Three Rogues n Gettysburg
06/17/21 • 32 min
Now more than ever it is necessary to speak about the US Civil War. Join Michele McAloon in a discussion with J. Geoffrey Barber, author of Three Rogues in Gettysburg., published by Milford House, an imprint of Sunbury Press. Mr. Barber has written a wonderful historical novel set in the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg. His detailed narrative brings to life the true difficulties and the conflicting emotions and realities of people caught in historical events. The complexity of the characters Mr. Barber has created reminds us, in an entertaining way, there is still much to learn about our nation and ourselves in studying the complex history of the Civil War. Highly recommend this book for a book club reading or even a young adult classroom. You can follow Michele on Twitter Michelem@MicheleMcAloon1.

Curious about Curiosity
Join me in a delightful interview about a delightful book as I talk to Professor F.H. Buckley about his new book Curiosity and Its Twelve Rules for Life. published by Encounter Books. It is a rollicking romp through the canons of Western history and culture as Professor Buckley explains the most curious thing about our common humanity is our sense of curiosity. With curiosity we live deep and meaningful lives, without curiosity we become less than human. The true tragedy of the 2020 pandemic was the muting of our curiosity.
