Author Bennett Parten is visiting Lancaster to speak to the CWRT. His new book, "Somewhere Toward Freedom," tells the incredible story of General Sherman's "March to the Sea" from the perspective of the enslaved people who followed his army. As many as 20,000 slaves self-emancipated to join in the march. They faced their own unique hardships, struggles and victories. Their knowledge, contributions and abilities help the army complete its goals - even though they weren't welcomed by everyone. His discussion will be followed by a book signing. Books will be available for purchase at the event.
