On May 14, at Bradley’s library, local author Mike Rucker will speak about his new book “Bridge Burner.” Rucker’s talk will begin at :007 p.m. in the Wyckoff Room on the first floor of the library. It’s sponsored by the Friends of Cullom-Davis Library and is free and open to the public.
Published by the West Virginia Book Company, the book tells the true story of a slave-holding southerner whose support of the Union caused him to be one of the most despised individuals in the South. Rucker, a Civil War researcher and Caterpillar retiree, has also authored 18 children’s books of the adventures of Terry the Tractor. Rucker will sign and sell copies of his new book to benefit the Friends.
