Library to Host Authors

Patrick and Sharolyn Mccoy of Miami, co-authors of Elkhorn Tavern, 1860: The Pea Ridge Community, will talk about their book at the Third Thursday program at the Grove Public Library on Jan. 19, at 12 noon.
This first book for the couple took first place and grand prize for new authors at the Tulsa Genealogical Society’s annual competition. The book also has won praise from one of Arkansas’ notable publishers, Desmond Walls Allen. She is quoted as saying, “. . .Genealogists will rejoice over this bock, and historians will be delighted at the wealth of information made available. The authors have compiled a picture of the families who lived in the vicinity of Elkhorn Tavern on the eve of the Civil War. When the Civil War came to Benton County in March 1862, these families experienced war closeup. Anyone interested in Civil War history, especially in our own neighborhood, will want to find out more about this book. The McCoys will have books for sale and to autograph.
Third Thursday is a lunch program. Bring a brown bag. Drink and dessert will be provided by Friends of the Grove Public Library, co-sponsor of the program.
