Author Discusses New Book, "War Tears"

John Swanson, author of the recently published novel, "War Tears", recently appeared on the 'Spotlight" TV program on Okemo Valley TV. Swanson, interviewed by Ralph Pace, described the lengthy research he conducted into Vermont's participation in the Civil War at Gettysburg. While his book is a historical fiction, many of the characters in it are drawn from actual historic Vermont figures who played a role in that conflict. John was particularly interested in one, a young lawyer in Springfield, who became an important Civil War commander, who was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role as a military leader. "War Tears" is currently available as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover book on Kindle. Pictured above are, from left to right, Ralph Pace and John Swanson.
