Looking for something to read this summer? We recommend Black Jacks: African-American Seamen in the Age of Sail by W. Jeffrey Bolster, who will be our featured speaker in the September installment of our Lecture Series. Bolster, associate professor of history at the University of New Hampshire, will be at the History Center on Tuesday, September 15 at 7:00 pm to speak about African-American sailors during the 18th and 19th centuries. Start reading now and be ready with questions in September.
The book is available from our neighbors at Royal River Books (355 Main Street in Yarmouth) and also from their online store.
Happy reading!
