Author Event: Brian Leehan, author of “Pale Horse at Plum Run”

April 12 @ 1:30 am - 2:30 pm

Regular Site Admission

Brian Leehan, author of Pale Horse at Plum Run, will speak about the First Minnesota at the battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War.

When the smoke cleared after the First Minnesota regiment stopped an overwhelming confederate assault at Gettysburg, nearly 70 percent of the First Minnesota lay dead or dying on the field—one of the greatest losses of any unit engaged in the Civil War.

The Minnesota Book Award-winning Pale Horse at Plum Run is the study of this single regiment at this crucial moment in history. Through painstaking research of firsthand accounts, eyewitness reports, and official records, Brian Leehan constructs a narrative remarkable for its attention to detail and careful reportage.

The event is supported by the Alonzo Pickle Endowment.
