Sunday Speaker: Dennis E. Frye and Catherine Mägi Oliver "Confluence: Harpers Ferry as Destiny"

From Civil War to Civil Rights, Harpers Ferry is a small place where big stories come together - often violently, but ever with renewed hope. The mere fact of the town's surviorship is as noteworthy as its resume of national history. Join Dennis Frye, Harpers Ferry Chief Historian (retired), and Catherine Magi, storyteller and librarian, as they bring to life the saga of this dramatic landscape through the experiences of those who lived it.

Their book, Confluence: Harpers Ferry as Destiny, was published in 2019 in honor of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park's 75^th anniversary. Including materials never before published, it is the most comprehensive history of the Ferry in print, stretching from European settlement to the modern fight for preservation.
