And That's a Wrap

FINALLY! The final proof (what publishers used to call “galleys”) for Hidden History of Mobile arrived in my inbox yesterday. I parused it one last time and it looks great! The editors at History Press really made me look good. Next step – off to be printed then off to your favorite bookstore! You can pre-order now online through Amazon.Com or Barnes and Noble.

I really can’t wait to line up presentations and signings for this one. The book covers some history that has long been forgotten about the Port City - Mobile - and also adds some lesser known history to more well-known stories and characters from Mobile’s past. 

I really need to thank all of the journalists as well as the staff of the Mobile Museum and Mobile Public Library Local History and Genealogy for all of their help. I couldn’t have done it without them.

This book is only a VERY small look at the hidden history of Mobile and its 300+ year old history. There are many other stories out there. If you want to delve deeper into the subject after reading the book, may I suggest you take one of the Secret History tours. Full disclosure, I haven’t been able to go on the tour yet myself (I've been busy with the book), but from very reliable sources and close friends, it’s a must-do tour that walks the streets of Mobile and takes you through some more incredible history. Be sure to check it out. And who knows, I might be on that tour with you.
