Saratoga County Stories Three: A Book Signing & Discussion
Location
About
Enjoy a meet and greet with the authors of Saratoga County Stories Three, the third collection in our series of books highlighting the histories of Saratoga County. This volume shares new and unexpected tales from across the county, with contributions from over thirty local historians and researchers. At Brookside and in Malta, selected authors will sign books, discuss their research, and celebrate the new volume.
Readers can explore important moments in local history, from Waterford’s time as “Underwear Capital of the World” and Carlotta Myers’ balloon flight over Saratoga to the tumult of the American Revolution. Visit the bedside of a tuberculosis patient in Providence, spend a summer afternoon picnicking in Vischer Ferry, or join a community celebration at Halfmoon’s Chip Hall. Encounter the lives and histories of diverse Saratoga County residents, including “Obstinate” Becky Jones, Widow Peebles, WWII heroes Johnny Mancini and Franklin Lloyd Darrell, and local businessmen Joshua Anthony and Jonas Hovey.
It’s the perfect gift for the holiday season, and for every lover of local history!
