The Big One

Looks like my latest draft chapter (on Judith & Sylvanus Smith) has boosted the book's page count big time. My post on Feb. 8 said "Up to 112 pages today, 28,000 words." Now I am up to 144 pages, 37,331 words. Remember, this includes lots of footnotes, which I hope to slim down a lot later. Still, it looks like well over 200 pages in final print. Who would have thought that when I started this? Not me!

Ditches in the salt marshes are my latest focus of research. Very local, like in almost my backyard, yet common along the whole Northeast coast. Historical, from early 1600s settlers, yet early 1900s
