Local author Steve French will speak at 6:30 pm on Thursday, March 13, 2014 at North Berkeley Library. His topic of discussion will be "Train Robbers of the Upper Potomac." 

The talk will focus on Confederate Major Harry Gilmor's February 12, 1864 robbery of the B&O Express West and the October 14, 1864 robbery of the same train by Mosby's Rangers. Both incidents took place near present-day Bardane in Jefferson County. These stories are also featured in his latest book, Raiders, Scouts, and Train Robbers of the Upper Potomac. 

Copies of Mr. French's book will be available for purchase at the event. 

The event is hosted by the Falling Waters Battlefield Association which will also hold its bi-monthly meeting after the presentation.
