📚 Battlefield Books is hosting our FIRST Author Signing!
Join us as we welcome Civil War historian and author Brad Quinlin, a renowned researcher, reenactor, and storyteller with more than 25 books on the American Civil War.
Brad has spent over 30 years bringing history to life, working on major films and television productions including Glory, Gettysburg, and Andersonville. His historical expertise has been sought after by major television productions such as on the popular genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, where he guided actor Matthew Broderick through the final three days in the life of his great-great-grandfather, Robert Martindale of the 20th Connecticut Infantry, who was killed near Atlanta on July 23, 1864. Brad also served as a research advisor for three additional episodes of the series.
A Master Volunteer with the National Park Service with over 10,000 hours of service, Brad’s research is featured in museums across the country and even helped lead to the 2024 Medal of Honor recognition for soldiers from Andrews’ Raid.
