An Avon favorite returns! John Banks joins us virtually to share the stories behind his newest book, A Civil War Road Trip of a Lifetime: Antietam, Gettysburg, and Beyond

John Banks has crisscrossed the country exploring battlefields, historic houses, forts, and more. He rode on the back of an ATV with his “psychotic connection” in Mississippi, went under the spell of an amateur hypnotist at a U.S. Army fort in Tennessee, admired a sunset from the grounds of the notorious Andersonville prison camp in Georgia, prayed during a tense boat ride in Charleston Harbor in South Carolina, and briefly interviewed Louie the wild boar in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. Join him on a road trip like no other.
