Nations Apart Launch Party, Portland, Maine, Nov. 3

On the eve of the release of my new book, Nations Apart: How Clashing Regional Cultures Shattered America, Longfellow Books will be hosting a launch event at Portland, Maine’s storied Mechanics Hall. This will be the first place in the country where the book will be on sale, and I’ll be speaking about what’s in it, signing books for attendees, and generally having a great time.
I’ll be introducing the book and then sitting down for a conversation with Colby’s Alison Beyea and taking questions from the audience. This is a ticketed event, with the proceeds going to Mechanics Hall and/or the book from Longfellow. Details here.
