The Carnegie is presenting a ‘Brown Bag’ event which will take place on October 16th starting at noon. The public is invited to bring their lunch and enjoy a presentation by historical author Billy Kennedy.

Northern Ireland author-journalist Billy Kennedy, in his 10th book in the popular Scots-Irish Chronicles series, gives appropriate recognition to the lives, careers and outstanding achievements of three of America's most iconic historical personalities. 

Andrew Jackson, Sam Houston and David Crockett were three men of destiny in 19th century history who had much in common in family and ancestral ties, in character, mannerisms, and political and social outlook, as they shaped the fabric of a nation which was to gradually emerge as the greatest and most influential in the world.

“We are excited to welcome this noted journalist and historical author,” said Amy Mapel, Carnegie Media Coordinator.
