Early in the afternoon of May
22, 1856, ardent pro-slavery Congressman Preston S. Brooks of
South Carolina strode into the
United States Senate Chamber in
Washington, D.C. and began beating renowned anti-slavery Senator Charles Sumner with a goldtopped walking cane. Well-known
author Puleo explores this historical event that precipitated the start
of the Civil War in his recent book,
The Caning: The Assault that Drove
America to Civil War. As the Fredericksburg (VA) Star said, “Readers will not only find The Caning
a compelling read, but they may
be surprised to find multiple parallels to today’s political climate,”
and “Puleo’s book is an accessible,
interesting read for those who are
curious about the Civil War, but
may be intimidated about where to
start.” In the Library presentation, Stephen Puleo
will take us back to this
tumultuous time and
the events leading up to
the “War Between the
States.”
Mr. Puleo is the author of five books, including the bestselling
