Author Steve Magnusen will present a program based on his book "To My Best Girl" The Inspiring Life Stories of Rufus Dawes and Mary Gates.
Based on the many archived letters and diary entries written by and to a young Union officer, Rufus Dawes. These eloquent letters present a captivating personal story, one that is far more than battlefield heroics, though there is much of that. There is a remarkable romance, family drama, courage, tragedy, duty, and steadfast character. To My Best Girl is the result of two-and-one-half years of research and writing. To My Best Girl presents a remarkable young couple, Rufus Dawes and Mary Gates. You will find them to be exceptional Americans, with timeless lessons for us all, as their story comes alive again.
The program is Free and open to the public
