Back before the pandemic hit, my friends Nate Fick and Margaret Angell had very kindly planned to host a book launch party for Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood, here in Maine. Large in-person events being impossible, we’ve gone virtual with this one, which means everyone’s invited!
So please join us at 8 to 9 pm Eastern on July 16 — Pacific-friendly for our colleagues on the West Coast — for virtual cocktails, a bit from me about the book and how I came to write it, and plenty of time for questions from all of you.
With the partnership of our local independent bookstore, Longfellow Books, you can not only order the book, you can have it signed or personalized by yours truly before it’s shipped to you. (Or any of my other titles.) Just let us know the details in the “notes” section when you order here:
