Fiction writer Andrea Barrett will discuss her story “The Regimental History,” which concerns the way scraps of evidence from a famous civil war battle might have been preserved, altered, or lost. She’ll talk about how story-telling shapes our perceptions of history and about some differences between writing history and writing historical fiction.

Andrea Barrett lives in Lewis and is the author of ten books of fiction. “The Regimental History” is from her new book, Natural History, a collection of related stories rounding off the six-book sequence that began with Ship Fever.
