About 80 people lined up for copies of "The March of the 18." Horgan works at UPS in Sandy Springs and resides in Roswell.
Kevin Horgan, a Community Assistance Center board member, signed copies of his historical novel. “The March of the 18” last Saturday at Barnes and Noble in Alpharetta.
About 80 people lined up for copies of the book.
Set in 1864, his novel draws on how the Union Army’s Veterans’ Reserve Corps rested on the courage of its soldiers crippled by the war, whose only desire was dignified service even after harrowing personal sacrifice.
The 18th Veterans’ Reserve Corps was created during the Civil War to allow severely wounded soldiers to serve effectively, thereby freeing the able-bodied for combat.
