SUMMARY:"A False Perspective" Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Author Scott Gibson will visit Mordecai Historic Park to speak about his new book “A False Perspective: The True Story of the Cornstalk Fences in New Orleans.”\nThe Cornstalk Fences are now monuments in New Orleans\, but their fascinating story is directly linked to Raleigh and a local family in antebellum North Carolina. The family chose an instrument that could have generated a timeless legacy\, a tool not just a fence\, but it is now an epitaph. \n​In his new book\, Gibson explores the surprising connection between the Cornstalk Fences in New Orleans and the Mordecai family in Raleigh. He will discuss the book\, answer questions\, and copies will be available for sale and signings. \nThis event is free and open to the public. For more information\, please call Mordecai Historic Park at 919-996-4364.
