Tom Chaney: Miriam Grace Monfredo

Of Writers and Their Books: Assassination, Abolition, and the Rights of Women

By Tom Chaney

Serendipity has once again reared its delightful head.

This time in the guise of another woman mystery writer dealing with women sleuths.

The author is Miriam Grace Monfredo, herself a librarian. The women sleuths are variously Glynis Tryon librarian of Seneca Falls, New York, and Glynis' niece Bronwen Llyr who has bullied her way into employment by the Pinkerton Detective Agency about the time of President Lincoln's inauguration.

The novel which first caught my eye was The Stalking Horse, fifth in Monfredo's Seneca Falls Series.

Several photos, links follow; more photos, additions to story to follow
The Adair County Marching Band did it again! They won the Class AAA State Championship on Saturday. It was the 18th time the band won the State Championship.

Sunday afternoon, at 12:35pm, the convoy from Louisville arrived to a police, Ladder One, and EMS escort into town, around the Square, out Jamestown Street, across the Tutt Street, Hudson Street, Mitchell and Greensburg Street to a waiting crowd of well wishers.

A standing room only crowd of over 500 people jammed Raymond Lacy Music Building to honor Mr. Allen and the 2007 Kentucky State Champion ACHS Band. Celebrants jam all the space not taken by trophies.
