Author Talk with M.X. Kane: Period Rush: Tales of the Fighting 21st

As part of events commemorating the 160th anniversary of the end of the American Civil War, Bayside Historical Society is pleased to welcome Civil War reenactor and author M.X. Kane for a presentation on his captivating historical fiction trilogy, Period Rush: Tales of the Fighting 21st.

This first-time author was born & raised on Long Island and has been a Civil War Reenactor (or “Living Historian”) for over 22 years. Inspired by his first visit to Gettysburg, the author embarked on a writing project yielding a three-volume work describing the odyssey of seven modern day Civil War Reenactors as they are kidnapped and forced to live through the actual Battle of Gettysburg. A blend of historical & science fiction, Tales of the Fighting 21st is not only about the battle and the American Civil war but also the internal struggles in which we all suffer to find true peace.
