Author James Slaughter gave a wonderful presentation at Tappahannock United Methodist on Sunday afternoon about his seminal book detailing the history of Essex County, Settlers Southerners Americans. It’s been 40 years since the book was first published, and Mr. Slaughter reminisced on how it all came about, and what he would change if he wrote it again today. If you’d like to pick up an autographed copy of the book, be sure to stop by the Museum!
