Join this month’s guest speaker James Price of the U.S. Army Women’s Museum as he talks about “The Battle of New Market Heights”.

Price’s presentation titled “Battle of New Market Heights” is based on his first book, “The Battle of New Market Heights: Freedom Will Be Theirs by the Sword,” which was published in 2011. The Journal of Southern History claims “this slim volume offers considerable insight regarding the black military experience.”

Price is a Museum Education Specialist with the U.S. Army Women’s Museum. An Air Force veteran, he received his M.A. in Military History from Norwich University in 2009.
