Nancy Gentry will return to the Chickamauga Battlefield Park Visitor Center this Saturday, March 17 to sign books and talk to readers of her novel, “Rebel In Petticoats.”
Gentry is no stranger to the local battlefield. As a lover of Civil War history she has visited many times and held a similar book signing last March.
When telephoned at her Memphis home last week, she said, “I look forward to my return visit. I love to sell my stories.”
While she and her publisher hope to profit from their publication, Gentry said selling the idea that history can be interesting is more important than her own financial gain.
“Through my personal reading about the Civil War I have found great enjoyment,” she said. “It is a period that is so important, yet children today don’t have much knowledge about that era. This will let them learn.”
