If anyone is intereted in attending, it will be at the Central Rappahannock Library in Fredericksburg. This is my first Reading & Signing in Virginia, which is curious, since most of the events I write about take place in Colonial Virginia. WHEN: On August 11, 2005 Where: Central Rappahannock Library 1201 Caroline Street Fredericksburg Virginia Time: 5:00-8:00 pm Contact: Historic Fredericksburg Foundation 540-371-4504/or email Anita with questions We will have a reception beginning at 5:00 pm, and the reading will start at 6:00 pm, followed by a discussion and book signing. There is also an exhibit in Richmond, titled African Americans at Rocketts Landing. The Exhibit is in the Lobby of the Patrick Henry Building, at The Capital Rotunda. I do not know the details of how to see the Exhibit, but the curator is Melba Myers, of the Virginia Historical Resources Office. The exhibit features, Charles Lewis, one of my ancestors who served in the Revolutionary War. After his war service, Charles Lewis was a prominent businessman in Richmond, and owned property at Rocketts Landing. Please feel free to contact me privately with any questions.
