Her family had held on to a diary of an ancestor who lived in the early 1900s in a mountain town in Colorado. It had the history of the area down pat - the way people interacted, talked, their beliefs, morals (or lack thereof). It inspired her to write an historical novel about that town. She was able to accurately depict the ambience of the time and place. Poison Pen Press published her book and she was on her way.authorlindathornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02605805996356003012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-3585422450403236402018-05-02T23:09:35.762-04:002018-05-02T23:09:35.762-04:00Very interesting insights!

And yet that's what I and many others find most intriguing. I hadn't thought about tourist literature, so thanks for the tip (and all the others). I'm reading about the mid-nineteenth century for a story about one of my protagonist's ancestors.

It may have focused on the Revolution and Civil War.

Great ti...Hi Anne Louise! Welcome to Novel Spaces.<br /><br />Great tips on historical research. Yes, it's those mundane little things that are so difficult to unearth. Makes me wonder what we do today that future researchers won't be able to figure out except with great difficulty. Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.com
