Midnight on the Potomac: Scott Ellsworth in Conversation

Join bestselling historian Scott Ellsworth for an unforgettable evening at the Robert C. Byrd Center for Congressional History & Education, as he discusses Midnight on the Potomac — his riveting new history of the final year of the Civil War, the Lincoln assassination, and the fragile rebirth of America.

Presented in partnership with the George Tyler Moore Center for the Study of the Civil War at Shepherd University & the Center for Appalachian Studies at Shepherd University, this event invites readers, history lovers, and community members to reflect on the challenges of rebuilding a divided nation — then and now.

A book signing will follow the discussion. Books available for purchase through Four Seasons Books.
