You are invited to Historic Fairfax City, Inc.'s annual meeting, book talk and book signing with David A. Welker, historian and author of Tempest at Ox Hill: The Battle of Chantilly.

Every Civil War buff has heard of the Battle of Chantilly, the bloody 1862 engagement fought in a driving rainstorm only 20 miles from Washington that claimed the lives of two of the Union's most promising generals. Yet few have known the full story of courage and human drama because no one has ever produced a lively and historically accurate account of the battle — until now. Join David Welker discuss this pivotal battle of the war.

The event is free. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing. (Cash, check, and credit cards accepted)
