The Civil War in West Florida with Brian Rucker
Thursday, July 18 | 6:00 pm | Niceville Community Center | Free Event
Dr. Brian R. Rucker returns to examine military and civilian reminiscences of people, North and South, who participated in Civil War activity in the Florida Panhandle. Compiled in his book, Mine Eyes Have Seen, these are eyewitness recollections from those who often left behind accounts that add details not found in the official military records.
Dr. Rucker is a professor of history at Pensacola State College, and he also teaches Florida History at the University of West Florida. He is past president of the Gulf South Historical Association, has served on the Florida National Register Review Board, and has authored and edited over 50 scholarly books and articles related to Florida and Gulf Coast history.
This free event is presented by the Niceville Public Library and Friends of the Niceville Library.
