If you enjoy the idea of books and Green-Wood Cemetery, this could be your event: On Sunday (4/6), the Green-Wood Historic Fund will be presenting a book talk with author David H. Jones about his book Two Brothers: One North, One South. It will take place at 1:00 PM Green-Wood Cemetery’s Historic Chapel, which is quite a place if you’ve never been. Here’s a bit about it:

A Union officer. A Confederate solider. Joined by blood and united in
death. Clifton Kennedy Prentiss and William Scolay Prentiss were Maryland brothers who fought on opposing sides during the Civil War. Both were mortally wounded in the same late-War battle, as Clifton led an attack on the fort William was defending. Both were taken to Armory Square Hospital in Washington, D.C., where poet and military hospital volunteer Walt Whitman became the link between them.
