The first program in the series will feature bestselling military historian Patrick K. O’Donnell. O'Donnell brings local Civil War history to life with the previously untold story of Lincoln’s Special Forces and their hunt for Mosby’s Rangers and the Confederate Secret Service in his latest book The Unvanquished: The Untold Story of Lincoln's Special Forces, the Manhunt for Mosby's Rangers and the Shadow of War That Forged America's Special Operations . Free; registration required. O'Donnell is author of 13 books and the recipient of numerous national awards. He served as a combat historian in a Marine rifle platoon during the Battle of Fallujah and is a professional speaker on America’s conflicts, espionage, special operations, and counterinsurgency. O'Donnell provided historical consulting for the award-winning miniseries Band of Brothers. About the Barbara & Keith Severin Lecture Series Mr. and Mrs. Severin were  active members of the Fauquier community and ardent supporters of library services. Mrs. Severin served on the library board for 24 years; Mr. Severin was president of the Friends of the Fauquier Library and chaired the Fauquier County Capital Improvements committee.

A roadside sign memorializing John Singleton Mosby’s Rangers blowing up a Federal supply train in 1863 compelled bestselling historian   Patrick K. O’Donnell   to write   The Unvanquished ,  a book about the irregulars who dealt in espionage and intelligence behind the scenes of great Civil War battles.     Mosby, a Warrenton resident, looms large in local history.    Thus, O’Donnell welcomed the invitation to be the speaker for the inaugural Barbara and Keith Severin Lecture .    His talk on April 2 will revisit the shadow war, particularly Mosby’s Confederacy, from previously unpublished firsthand accounts.   We celebrate a lot in March including women, the Irish and crafts.   While Mosby and his rangers have top billing, Women’s History Month presents an opportunity to recognize the heroines who “ fought like demons ”  during the Civil War. Choose from   these titles   about women who played their part for both sides of the battle.   Ireland is a nation synonymous with the written word.  And, goodness knows, the Irish have given us some beautiful poetry, books and music.  Here’s our nod to Erin Go Bragh .   Want to learn how to make four adorable,   crocheted forest creatures ?  It’s National Crafts Month, and Hoopla obliges with a   BingePass ,   an easy way to stream collections of lessons on quilting, sewing, knitting and Amigurumi, the Japanese art of knitting and crocheting, with just one click.   Final thoughts about March come from John Updike  who says, “The sun is as nervous as a kite, that can’t quite keep its own string tight, some days are fair and some are raw, the timid earth decides to thaw.”   Thawing! How about that! Something else to celebrate, too.    Maria Del Rosso Director, Fauquier Public Library

Welcome spring with a new-to-you book from the Book Cellar!  In March stop by and browse our Women’s History Month and St. Patrick’s Day displays. Visit again in April when we will feature Earth Day, Easter and gardening books throughout the store.  And, of course, we’ll celebrate National Library Week and the contributions of library workers. All Book Cellar proceeds support Fauquier Public Library programs.     Fridays & Saturdays | 10 a.m.-5 p.m. John Barton Payne Bldg. , Warrenton
