Jean Boggio, author of Stolen Fields: A Story of Eminent Domain & the
Death of the American Dream, will speak about her book.
Though a long-time resident of Maine, Ms. Boggio writes about the
Pennsylvania branch of her family, the Coles of Neville Island, who, during
WWI, had their farmland taken by the U.S. Government for a proposed
munitions plant. The factory was never built, and the Coles were told they
could bid on their own land. However, their opponent would be Carnegie
Steel.
Ms. Boggio’s book will be available for purchase and signing.
