WEST CHESTER _ Author Bruce E. Mowday begins a busy month of May with a presentation on the Johnston gang Monday at the Chester County Library, Exton, at 6:00 p.m.
“I’m pleased that the Chester County Library is partnering with me for three events this year,” Monday said. “The first talk is on the Johnston gang and will include information from my latest book, Small-Town Cops in the Crosshairs. The book details the murders of Kennett Square policemen William Davis and Richard Posey. The talk will include my books Jailing the Johnston Gang and Stealing Wyeth.
The library is located at 450 Exton Square Parkway, Exton. Mowday’s other talks at the library are on July 20 on Gettysburg and September 13 on Lafayette and the battle of Brandywine.
Mowday will have books for sale during his talks. For more information on Mowday and his books, see www.mowday.com.
On Wednesday, May 10, Mowday will join artist Karl J. Kuerner for a signing and talk on their book Emotional Gettysburg at Sunset Hill Jewelry at 23 North High Street, West Chester. The event takes place from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m.
On Thursday, May 11 Mowday will appear at the Countrymen’s Club in Elverson at noon to talk about Lafayette and then sign books at the Fashion for the Cure fundraising event at Penn Oaks Country Club at 6:00 p.m.
To complete the week, Mowday joins author Mary Walsh for a book signing at the Hershey ArtFest from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Mowday will be in Quarryville on May 19 and 20 at the Robert Fulton birthplace museum, 1932 Robert Fulton Highway, as part of its Civil War living history event. “I’m especially pleased to be part of the Friday program for home school students,” Mowday said. “I was at a similar event in Virginia several years ago and I thought the re-enactors provide valuable material no longer taught in schools.”
