The North Florida Community College Foundation and the Treasures of Madison County welcome Dr. Tracy J. Revels to campus for an author presentation and book signing on Sunday, Nov. 12 at 2:30 p.m. Revels will share insight into her new book on Florida history, Florida's Civil War: Terrible Sacrifices.

A true tale of survival, ingenuity, and opportunism, "FLORIDA'S CIVIL WAR: TERRIBLE SACRIFICES" highlights the diverse experiences of Florida's population. Whether Confederate or Unionist, free or slave, male or female, no Floridian could escape the war's impact. A concise narrative of life on the home front, this book explores how Floridians endured the war. Women, slaves, and Unionists are considered in detail, as well as how various areas of the state reacted to Federal incursions. The story of Florida's Civil War is complex and dramatic, and this work recognizes the sacrifices made by all Floridians.
