“Lafayette at Brandywine: The Making of an American Hero,” which will be released in October by Barricade Books, has generated speaking appearance requests for author Bruce E. Mowday from a number of historical and civic organizations.

“I’m so pleased with comments of historians and Lafayette scholars who have read my manuscript,” Mowday said. “The book should change the way the views Lafayette and establish the importance of the September 11, 1777, battle of Brandywine.”

Mowday has accepted a dozen speaking requests related directly to the Lafayette book. One of the bookings is at the historic Hale Byrne House in Delaware on September 11, 2022. On September 11, 2021, he will be signing books at the Chadds Ford Historical society. And on the day before, Mowday will be talking about Lafayette at events in West Chester and Kennett Square.

On October 19, 2021, Mowday will be a featured speaker during the festivities at Yorktown, Virginia, to mark the anniversary of the capture of the town by Lafayette, George Washington and French forces during the American Revolution.

Mowday has written more than 20 books on history, true crime, business and sports. All of his work can be seen on www.mowday.com. To order a signed copy of his books, contact him at [email protected].

“My true crime books, “Jailing the Johnston Gang: Bringing Serial Murderers to Justice” and “Stealing Wyeth” continue to be popular,” Mowday said, “along with my books on Gettysburg and local history. I’ve been asked to conduct tours at both Brandywine and Gettysburg.”
