Books and Bites Adult Book Club – Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen
December 21 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join the club for snacks and lively discussion about books! Though born into bondage in Missouri, Cathy Williams was never allowed to consider herself a slave. According to her mother, she was a captive, destined by her noble warrior blood to escape the enemy. Her chance at freedom presents itself with the arrival of Union general Phillip Henry Sheridan, who takes the rawboned, prideful young woman into service. At war’s end, having tasted freedom, Cathy refuses to return to servitude and makes the monumental decision to disguise herself as a man and join the Army’s legendary Buffalo Soldiers.
