Ken Gottry's new history book Around Cambridge, White
Creek, and Jackson will be released by Arcadia Publishing on November 8.
Its publication celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Cambridge Patent
(1761-2011).Battenkill Books has scheduled Ken for a talk and book
signing on Saturday November 13 at 4pm in the Freight Depot Theater (see
link below).
Much of the material in the talks and in the book was
collected by Ken’s father during his decades as village, town, and
church historian. Ken also draws from newspaper articles written by his
mother while she served as local news correspondent for over 25 years.
Other material comes from Dave Thornton, the village archives, and the
library history section.
Ken calls himself a raconteur not a historian. His
facts and photos are accurate but his main love is the stories that
surround them. So bring the entire family and be educated and
entertained as Ken brings our local history to life. Also, check out the
many of his history presentations on Ken's website (www.gottry.com).
