Next Meeting
Open it NOW! Friends of the Old Slave House will meet next at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, March 4, in the private dining room at Southeastern Illinois College. Everyone interested in the Old Slave House is invited to attend.

Book Signing
Saturday's book signing at the Marion Waldenbooks for Lincoln: Fresh from Abraham's Bosom was a success. I signed 19 books until the store sold out. I'm set to be at the Carbondale Waldenbooks this Sunday from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. You can also order books online at www.IllinoisHistory.com/books.

Handbook of Old Gallatin County and Southeastern Illinois
Everything appears to be finally straightened out at the printers for the new paperback version of the Handbook of Old Gallatin County and Southeastern Illinois. I should have the order in a couple of weeks.
