Updates
The book signing at Borders in Delaware on Nov. 7 went very well. Thanks to all who came out, especially the innkeepers at the Kitty Knight House, who shared some good stories about the famous namesake of their establishment.
Read all about it . . . David's essay on Delmarva architecture appears in the Fall 2009 issue of Delmarva Quarterly. In the essay, you'll get a whirlwind tour of old houses "in the Chesapeake," as they used to say in the olden days.
David can also be found blogging about local history at The Cecil Observer. www.cecilobserver.com

Book signings! That's yours truly at Washington Street Books in June and (below) at the Historical Society of Cecil County.
Below, our living room was transformed recently when filmmakers showed up to film a segment for a new War of 1812 documentary about the Battle of North Point. The lighting hides the fact that the walls need to be painted!
