Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable presents: ‘Antietam Shadows: Mystery, Myth’
Posted
Independent Newsmedia
The Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable presents Dennis Frye as speaker at its Nov. 12 meeting at the Scottsdale Civic Center Library.
Mr. Frye will be at the library at 5 p.m. to meet attendees and sign books. He speaks at 6 p.m., according to a press release.
Mr Frye starts his newest book, Antietam Shadows: Mystery, Myth & Machination, questioning “What is history but a fable agreed upon?” He challenges conventional wisdom about the Battle of Antietam, which sparks debate and conversation, the release said.
Recently retired from the National Park Service at Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, while with the NPS, Mr. Frye earned the Department of Interior’s “Distinguished Service Award,” noted as the highest honor of the department.
A founder of today’s American Battlefields Trust (formerly Civil War Trust) and a co-founder of the Save Historic Antietam Foundation, Mr. Frye served as president of both organizations and has authored 10 books and 101 articles.
He is a tour guide in “national demand, leading programs” for the Smithsonian, National Geographic, and the New York Times, as well as universities and Civil War organizations around the country, the release said.
He and his wife Sylvia have restored and reside in the post-Antietam headquarters of General Burnside, where President Lincoln met with the general.
The Scottsdale Civil War Roundtable meets the third Tuesday of every month at the Scottsdale Civil Center Library Auditorium, 3839 N. Drinkwater Blvd., Scottsdale.
Speakers are comprised of Civil War experts from around the country. The group supports battlefield preservation. All are welcome to attend.
