Had a great time presenting #OurManInCharleston, stepping back into the 19th century at @theplayersnyc last night

What a great venue for a book about the Civil War and the madness that led to it — the home of the great actor Edwin Booth, brother of the infamous assassin John Wilkes Booth. Those who came to the reading were privileged to visit Edwin's bedroom, where there is only one picture of his brother, and that a very small one positioned behind the corner of his bed where he would see it only very rarely, if ever.
