An Author’s Journey Through Time Uncovering Tottenville

My journey as a Tottenville historian began in a newsroom, not a library. Covering Spanish Camp's demise led me to discover Dorothy Day's connection to my parish.

Wrote a piece in The Times Record about a local fire station raising funds for a piece of firefighting history in Maine.

When Research Comes to Life Meeting Historian Phillip Papas

While writing my second book on Tottenville History, I discovered Dr. Phillip Papas' work on Staten Island during the American Revolution, helping me understand why Tottenville was Loyalist. #HistoryWriting #Research #AmericanRevolution #StatenIsland #BookSky

First meeting today to discuss our next Society book- Leighton Buzzard High Street. Domesday market, Alice Chaucer Market Cross, fairs and markets, and its role in WWII, this is going to be amazing to write! Twinned with, and across the river, from my #OnePlaceStudy #LocalHistory #HistoryWriting
