Author and Mashpee resident Chip Bishop presents his new book The Lion and the Journalist, the true story of the unlikely friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and Joseph Bucklin Bishop, Chip's great-granduncle and a Seekonk, MA native. Kirkus Reviews calls the book "An engaging tour of the busy intersection where history, politics, journalism and power converge."
It’s Chip Bishop’s first book, researched and written over three years and based on 600 rarely-seen letters that Roosevelt and Joseph Bucklin Bishop exchanged.
Mr. Bishop will present his work on Thursday, February 23 at 6:30 PM in the Mezzanine area.

What’s Falmouth Reading? 2012

2012 is the 10th year that Falmouth residents have joined together to share a common reading experience facilitated by the What’s Falmouth Reading? Committee. This year, in observance of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, our town wide read is SEEN THE GLORY: a Novel of the Battle of Gettysburg, by John Hough, Jr. Mr. Hough will be speaking in Falmouth at 2:00 pm on Saturday, February 4 at the Morse Pond School Auditorium, 323 Jones Road. This event is open to the public FREE of charge.
Hough is a resident of nearby Martha’s Vineyard, but spent much of his youth in Falmouth. His family has strong ties to the area, via the local newspapers. His grandfather was editor of the Falmouth Enterprise and his great-uncle was editor of the Vineyard Gazette. He himself worked as a reporter at the Falmouth Enterprise during the summers of 1966-67.
The author of eight books, he has written both nonfiction and novels. SEEN THE GLORY is a coming of age novel as well as a war story. It follows the Chandler brothers of Martha’s Vineyard, aged 16 and 18, as they join the Union Army and evolve from sheltered youths to trained military men, their experience climaxing at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Yet, SEEN THE GLORY is more than a war story. Concerned with social issues for many years, Hough realistically describes the way of life of both the Islanders, and the Southerners. He pays particular attention in the novel to the difficult position of African Americans during the Civil War in both the North and the South.
See the full list of upcoming events.
