Tonight, I will present a lecture regarding the Lincoln County Feud at West Virginia Archives and History in Charleston, WV. This is a great honor. I could not have written my book without the vast resources of the state archives and its helpful staff.

I’m pleased to report The State Journal has selected me to appear in its annual edition of 55 Good Things About West Virginia. I do not feel worthy of this magnificent honor, but I believe strongly in the importance of my work and give all praise and credit to my many dear late great friends. Thank you.

Brandon Kirk at Sol Adams cabin

I recently visited the Squire Sol Adams cabin at Whirlwind in Logan County, WV. I love the cabin and the way the land rolls here. When my book is placed at such a powerful historical site, an indescribable energy results. It’s electrifying. 11 July 2015
