Local author Chuck Mauro will discuss his just released, fifth book, A Southern Spy in Northern Virginia:  The Civil War Album of Laura Ratcliffe.  It concerns an album that Confederate Brigadier General J.E.B. Stuart gave to Laura in the spring of 1862.  They met while she was tending to his wounded soldiers after the Battle of Dranesville in late December 1861.  Laura lived on Centreville Road south of Herndon in an area called Frying Pan.  Copies of his book may be purchased afterwards.
