ASHEBORO – Liberty resident and first-time author Angel Matthews will talk about her novel Charlotte Confederate Soldier at 7 p.m. Tuesday, January 19, at the Asheboro Public Library.

Matthews’ appearance, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, is free and the public is invited.

A longtime history buff who, with her husband Grant, attends Civil War re-enactments in period civilian garb, Matthews spent a year researching and writing. “All of the history in the book is true,” she says.

The novel concerns a young, newly-wed North Carolina woman whose opposition to slavery and search for her soldier husband leads to a series of adventures, including a stint in the Confederate cavalry.

The library is located at 201 Worth Street. Call 318-6803 for further information.
