While in Butler, Pennsylvania, I was sure to stop at Cummings Candy counter, one of the oldest such shops in the United States. Of course, these days more people stop by for the coffee, I think. But I made sure to pick up some peanut brittle for the road.
I had a great time presenting Becoming Tom Thumb to the Civil War Roundtable of Butler County, Pennsylvania. It is the farthest I've gone (so far) for an author event. They asked great questions and we all enjoyed an evening talking about Charles Stratton and his circle.
