In-Person Programming

In Person Author Talk: Huzza!”:  Toasting a New Nation, 1760-1815 by Timothy Symington

Wed., Sept. 4 at 6 PM

(Will be published September 29, 2023, by McFarland Books) Learn about the American Revolutionary War through the War of 1812 through political drinking toasts! The toasts were one of the earliest forms of social media.  Like “tweets,” they gave a glimpse of popular opinion at a particular moment, and then they were gone by the next newspaper edition.  The toasts were used to spread national ideology, or they became weapons of political propaganda.

Come on down and listen to local musician singer/songwriter Sparkie Allison. She is sure to entertain and inspire.
