SUMMARY:Author Event: Lincoln’s Generals’ Wives
DESCRIPTION:Author and historian Candice Hooper will read from and discuss 
 her recent book\, Lincoln's Generals' Wives\, at the Blue Hill Public Libr
 ary on Wednesday\, July 18th at 5:00 PM.\n\nThe story of the American Civi
 l War is not complete without examining the extraordinary and influential 
 lives of Jessie Frémont\, Nelly McClellan\, Ellen Sherman\, and Julia Gra
 nt\, the wives of Abraham Lincoln’s top generals. They were their husban
 ds’ closest confidantes and had a profound impact on the generals’ amb
 itions and actions. The book covers the early lives of the subjects\, as w
 ell as their families\, education\, political attitudes\, and personal bel
 iefs.\n\nLincoln's Generals' Wives is the recipient of the 2018 Gold Medal
  in Nonfiction from the Sarton Women’s Book Awards\, the 2017 Silver Ben
 jamin Franklin Book Prize in History from the Independent Book Publishers 
 Association\, and the 2017 Bronze Medal in History from the Independent Pu
 blisher Book Awards.\n\nWith an undergraduate degree in journalism from th
 e University of Illinois and a law degree from Georgetown University\, it 
 was only after a career on Capitol Hill as an aide to the late Congressman
  Charlie Wilson and as a lobbyist that Candace Hooper “discovered” her
  true intellectual passion. Returning to school in 2006\, she earned an MA
  in history\, with a concentration in military history\, from George Washi
 ngton University. Hooper’s work has appeared in the New York Times\, The
  Journal of Military History\, and The Michigan War Studies Review.\n\nBoo
 ks will be available for sale and signing. This event is sponsored by the 
 library\, there is no charge\, and everyone is welcome. For more informati
 on\, call the library at 374-5515.
