BOOK TALK AT BOOK COVE IN JUNE

Akin Free Library, Quaker Hill, NY

I'll be at the Book Cove in Pawling, NY, probably the first weekend in June to showcase my father, Croswell Bowen's book of photographs of the Hudson Valley, Great River of the Mountains: The Hudson. He began the research for this right up the hill at the Akin Free Library with the story of Mehitable Wing and William Prendergast and the 18th Century Rent Wars.

The exact date and time TBD!

Stay tuned!

Croswell Bowen's 1959 biography of Eugene O'Neill, Curse of the Misbegotten: A Tale of the House of O'Neill is now online at the premier site for O'Neill fans and scholars, eOneill.com. This site is the creation of Harley J Hammerman, MD, and is an example of what the Web should be. My sisters and I wrote an introductory essay for the electronic version.
