Tonight's program with David Faxon, author of Cold Water Crossing, has been postponed one week---to Tuesday, February 23, 2010 @ 7pm---due to the impending snowstorm. We didn't want Mr. Faxon to risk his safety driving up here from Connecticut! Here are the details of the program:
The Friends of the Library will present author David Faxon in the Dover Public Library’s Lecture Hall on Tuesday evening, February 23 at 7pm. Faxon will discuss his 2009 book, “Cold Water Crossing: An Account of the Murders at the Isles of Shoals.”
In coastal Maine in the 1870s, an unforgettable tragedy happened to a quiet Norwegian family. A cold winter evening saw three women unexpectedly left alone on a small island when their men had to stay overnight on the mainland. A killer overheard their circumstance, stole a boat, and rowed 10 miles to commit a crime that still looms large in Seacoast NH/Maine history.
Faxon’s talk will include the controversy surrounding the trial of Louis Wagner, the rich history behind the Isles of Shoals that led the author to write the book, some facts about the Atlantic coast resort industry which may have begun at the Isles, how he researched the book, and what he’s discovered about writing in the process.
David Faxon is a retired chief financial officer from Manchester, CT. He is now working on his second book.
All lectures in the Friends of the Library’s Cultural Series are free and open to the public. Please call the Library, 516-6050, for more information.
