Renowned Kentucky author Eddie Price will be in Marion this weekend to bring to life his story of Kentucky's contributions to the United States' cause in the War of 1812."Widder's Landing," a story of life and love on the Kentucky frontier in the early 19th century, is a historical novel written by the historian and teacher from Hancock County. Price will be at Crittenden County Public Library on Saturday in period costume to present and discuss the book. He will also have period music and a PowerPoint presentation.
“Eddie Price explores the vital role Kentucky played during our second war for independence with Great Britain," wrote John M. Trowbridge, Kentucky National Guard command historian, in his review of the book. "'Widder's Landing' is a well-researched historical overview of Kentucky's role in the War of 1812, a penetrating look into the lives of Kentuckians during this tumultuous time in the history of Kentucky and our nation."
You can see the book and read further reviews on Amazon.com.
Sponsored by the library and Crittenden County Historical Society and held in conjunction with the Pumpkin Festival, Price's presentation is open to the public at no charge. The event begins at 10:30 a.m. in the library's meeting room.
Price will have copies of his book available for sale and signing.
