Gerard E. Mayers

Gerard E. “Gerry” Mayers has held a life-long interest in the American Civil War; his first visit to the battlefield of Antietam occurred with his parents while he was still in high school. Other visits followed in subsequent years – particularly while undertaking the research needed for his first novel, None But Heroes, which is published as an eBook on Amazon Kindle, Apple’s iTunes, and Barnes & Noble’s Nook. He cites both the Ken Burns’ Civil War mini-series and the Ted Turner movie Gettysburg as actively re-kindling his passion for the Civil War. An award-winning member of the Bucks County CWRT where he holds the position of program chairman, Gerry has spoken previously on the Confederate Signal Corps and also done a presentation at John Walter Fairfax of General Longstreet’s staff. He is also a familiar face at the Roundtable’s Museum and Library. A graduate of St. John’s University in New York from which he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with Honors in both English and History, he is currently a part-time Director of Publishing and Editor in Chief for Quincentennial Publishing Company and its non-business imprint Green Oak Press, in addition to working part time at a pharmacy in the town where he lives. As both a living historian and reenactor of the Civil War, he belongs to the Civil War Heritage Foundation and to Company C, “Johnson Guards,” Forty-fourth Georgia Volunteer Infantry. Married to his wife, Bette, he lives in Milford, NJ, with a cat and three dogs.
