Award winning author William Martin will present a Civil War History at the Hopkinton Public Library on Wednesday, April 29 at 7PM at the Hopkinton Public Library.  Martin is the award-winning author of ten novels, a PBS documentary, book reviews, magazine articles and a horror movie.  He is the winner of the New England Book award in 2005, an award given to an author whose body of work stands as a significant contribution to the culture of the region.   By showing historical events through the eyes of his characters, he has brought alive the history of Cape Cod, Back Bay, and Harvard Yard.  In addition he has delved into the history of Annapolis, the Chesapeake Bay, the Constitution, NYC and our first president.  His latest novel, using the team of treasure hunters Peter Fallon and Evangeline Carrington who have also appeared in some of the other books, is an historical suspense story blending the past and present.  Researched for historical facts and actions, enriched with fictional conversation and thoughts, it moves around in Washington DC between the 1860’s and our modern times encompassing the Civil War and Lincoln himself.
