Booktalk
at The Museum Store
Join
us on Saturday, February 16th as The Museum Store at Garst
hosts author, Scott D. Trostel, for a talk and book signing for his
book, And
Through the Black Night of Terror.
We
have all heard the stories of the events that occurred in Dayton during
the
Great Flood of 1913. Now,
find out how
the people of the Northern Miami Valley coped with this natural
disaster. Scott has
researched through many archives to
piece together how the counties of Darke, Champaign, Logan, Miami, and
Shelby
were affected by the worst natural disaster in our area.
Scott
Trostel, from Fletcher, is the author of 46 books including
this newest regional history title.
In
addition to his flood book, Trostel has recently released three other
titles,
The Dayton & Troy Electric Railway, The Western Ohio Railway
and Baldwin:
Fifty Years at Eddystone, volume 1.
All
of these titles will be available at the booktalk.
He has also penned, The Lincoln Funeral Train
and its companion book The Lincoln Inaugural Train.
He is Henry Ford’s biographer as a railroad
president, and has penned several industrial history books including
one about
the Lima Locomotive Works, Building a Lima Locomotive plus his newly
released
DVD documentary history of the Loco Works titled, The Building of Lima
Super-Power. He has
appeared on the
History Channel, worked behind the scenes with Hallmark Productions,
and
provides historical consulting to several film and media networks as
well as the
