Christopher Kelly: America Invaded: A State by State Guide to Fighting on American Soil.

Tuesday, September 19th

6-7:30PM

 Have you ever wondered why some towns in Texas have French names? Or why there’s a statue of a Shawnee chief at the US Naval Academy? Or what coastal wildlife refuges have to do with American fears of invasion? And what the Olive Oil Riot in Montana was really all about? America Invaded has the answers to these intriguing questions and so many more.

Ever since they first set foot on the North American continent, humans have explored, discovered, established boundaries – and subsequently invaded – all across the territory we now call the United States. In America Invaded, we track some of the many explorations and invasions that founded or destroyed towns, that set and reset state lines, and that shaped the peoples and culture of this nation.

This book is available in hardcover ($25.95). 

Christopher Kelly discusses and signs his book, America Invaded: A State by State Guide to Fighting on American Soil.

If you are unable to attend, you must call the book shop to order signed books.
