“The Travelling Canary in Alachua County” is a coffee table book, art book, memoir, and history of life in Gainesville, Alachua County, FL. The book is divided into eight sections with thirty to fifty drawings each. The author was born in Gainesville and lived there for most of his life. All the drawings in this book were drawn from life between 2016 and 2024.
This book-signing showcases the stories of some of these pen & ink drawings, chosen to represent as much of the county in its 200th anniversary year. A Q&A session will be unique to this event, with specific focus on the history of the area and the inclusion of places from the National Register of Historic Places. The author may even perform a few of his songs relevant to the book. Large prints of drawings from the book will be available for purchase.
