Author and historian Steve Stotelmyer takes a chapter from his brand-new book, "From Frederick to Sharpsburg: People, Places, and Events of the Maryland Campaign Before Antietam," and examines the story of Frederick resident Barbara Fritchie. Did she really defy Confederate General Stonewall Jackson by flying a United States flag as his troops marched through town? Was this event fact or fiction?

This event is free with admission.
