Unexpected Bravery: A Conversation with A.J. Schenkman
About this episode
Join me this week as I sit down and chat with author, historian and educator A.J. Schenkman about his recent book, Unexpected Bravery.
His book tells the stories of women and children who made the commitment to join in the fight of the Civil War and the steps they took to serve their country, despite the societal and sometimes legal norms of the time.
A.J. Schenkman is the author of several books and historical articles. You can find more information about him, including how to order his book, at his website www.ajschenkman.com
