Jerry Holsworth is the assistant archivist for the Handley Regional Library in Winchester, which is under the auspices of the Winchester, Frederick County Historical Society. The Winchester, Frederick County Visitor Center also employs Jerry to give tours on the Civil War three to four times a year. These tours are popular and usually have about one hundred attendees. Jerry is the author of several articles for Blue and Gray Magazine and Civil War Times, and he is a sportswriter for the Winchester Star, the Loudoun Times-Mirror and the Northern Virginia Daily. His work has also appeared in the Washington Times, Cobblestone Magazine and Potomac Magazine. Ted Alexander (at Antietam) suggested Jerry, and the two worked together when Jerry was a park ranger at Antietam National Battlefield. From 2004 to 2006, Jerry was also the manager of George Washington's Office Museum in Winchester. He currently lives in Winchester.
