My mom has a periodical column in one of the local newspapers but she archives it all at her Wordpress blog, Schaghticoke History.
She’s quite dry, as a writer, but the content is absolutely there. I don’t remember what I said in the tags on that post that I know has been going around, but that’s sort of the background noise of my life, my mom always making observations like that about the censuses.
Her major projects in the last five years or so have been researching local veterans; she has a book she’s compiled about local men who served in WWI but I don’t know that she’s published that anywhere.
She is not a snappy writer, not with a lot of big conclusions; she likes to just present the results of her primary source readings, and put them out there with some basic conclusions drawn, but she doesn’t do Sexy Polished Sellable-Book Nonfiction stuff. By training she’s a museum curator, and she writes like one.
