Project Status

The summer and market season are winding down, with the large exception of Applefest on the 28th which will be special this year. Check "Events" on the main web site for details.

Next Book: In the fall, I hope to dig into the next book. The working title is "War Across the Carrying Place" which will tell the story of the people who lived along the Carrying Place during the War of 1812. This strip of land was a choke point in the milirary transportation system between Montreal, Kingston and the battles to the west. Thousands of troops passed through, often camping several days as their material was dragged across the portage. This story has never been told before, so it is ripe for The History Guy of Brighton. More to come on this as the work progresses. Watch the main web site for info.

Around Town: This large project continues as I dig into Young Street, both sides. Main Street and Prince Edward Street were done and published on the main web site, where you can see the details. Young Street will be added to the list when it is completed. And the work continues ....
