New Vermont Author Readies

For Book Release, "War Tears"

Following many years of research and writing, John Swanson is finally able to see his book in publication. John, a resident of the Gables in Rutland, is pictured here as he explains some of his opus, "War Tears: A Journey from Vermont to Gettysburg", to fellow residents, Carol Freeman and Randi Majorelle, in the Gables' Library. The book is now available as an eBook and paperback on Amazon's Kindle. In February it will be available as a hardcover book. Swanson, a retired historian and teacher, spent many years conducting research at the Gettysburg Civil War Institute to gain a full knowledge of what the conflict was like from a participant's point of view. The culmination of his efforts is "War Tears," a poignant depiction of a Vermont boy's experiences during this tumultuous period. A proud Vermonter raised in the very region where the central figure of this narrative lived, Swanson brings a unique and authentic perspective to this rich tapestry of Civil War history.
