On Saturday, April 11, 2026 from 1-2pm in person in the Kingsley Room, join us for an author talk by Tom Drennen.
Join us for an author talk by Tom Drennen for his book "Guardian Guerrillas: As told by Frank James"
"Guardian Guerrillas: As told by Frank James" is the fictionalized account of Frank James, brother of Jesse James. Frank James was a bushwhacker in Quantrill's Partisan Rangers during the Civil War.
Tom Drennen is a long-time student of the American Civil War, particularly the guerrilla warfare in his home state of Missouri. After retiring from a successful career as an engineer at Sikorsky Aircraft, he turned his attention to researching what forces drove young men in the 1860s to become Jayhawkers and Bushwhackers. He is a founding member of the Shoreline Civil War Discussion Group in Connecticut.
