For anyone who’s interested and expects to be in the area, I’ll be signing copies of my books at Washington Crossing Historic Park (PA) on December 25 (from 12 to 3 pm) during the 72nd annual reenactment of the Continental Army’s Christmas night 1776 crossing of the Delaware River.

The first crossing reenactment on December 8 did not occur because of low water levels due to the summer drought, although more than 3,000 people were present to enjoy the other activities. Based on the amount of recent rainfall, it would appear that the replica Durham boats WILL (probably) be able to do their thing on the 25th. More information is available here.

FYI, I will be giving guided tours at WCHP on the 21st and 28th, after which I expect to be absent from the park until at least March. Things slow down during the winter months, and so fewer staff are scheduled to work there.

Best wishes to all for a healthy and happy 2025!
