Book Launch & Talk:The Cook Who Captured An American Fort.

In the largely forgotten Aroostook War between Maine and New Brunswick, the greatest hero was certainly the least likely: The Cook Who Captured An American Fort.

…believe it or not, even that absolutely wild sentence does not cover even a fraction of the absurdity about the life and times of this particular cook! This is going to be a really fun talk!

Join Backyard History columnist/author/podcaster Andrew MacLean for the Woodstock launch of his new book ‘Wartime Stories From The Maritimes,’ and hear one of 25 stories in the new book! Arriving in October, the new book can be pre-ordered at backyardhistory.ca/books

(The new book also FINALLY includes in print the story read at the last event in Woodstock, two years ago now, about Woodstock-boy J. Douglas Winslow’s epic Odyssey in Siberia!)
