The Gettysburg Gun: Battery B, 1st Rhode Island Artillery with Stephen Evangelista

Join author Stephen Evangelista as he explores the topic of his latest book, Forever Silenced: The Story of the Gettysburg Gun, which offers an extraordinary and sweeping narrative of one of the Civil War’s most enduring artifacts: the Gettysburg Gun. This cannon is the only known artillery piece to have seen action at the Battle of Gettysburg and still be sitting on its original wooden gun carriage.

Learn about the incredible story of the Gettysburg Gun from its casting in Boston in 1862, through the crucible of war, to its present home in Rhode Island. A true testament to survival, sacrifice, and honor across three centuries. A book signing will be held after the program.
