  1. How hot must it have been? Did nobody sweat? (Sorry, ladies glow, men perspire and horses sweat). But seriously, summer in New Jersey was about as hot as today. Look, they’re in the water! Yet bewhiskered man looks like he’s just arrived from the bank and he’s dressed for January. No wonder Ms Feisty on the left wants to hit someone with her parasol.

    • Once when I was wearing a corset, hoop and day dress at Gettysburg in summer a man who had a crush on me said I was glowing. My kids quickly reminded me that I was sweating. I beat them with a willow branch like I would have back in the day. very period correct.

      Surprisingly, wearing all of those natural fibers really did help with the heat. It wasn’t as bad as you might imagine. The girls in the picture have their sweaty hair down–now that would be a real torture!

      Reading about the better resorts of the 19th century, it seems men never really escaped business.

About
My aim is to keep you turning pages well past bedtime with historical family sagas. Complex characters are my thing. I want to draw you into the lives of people you will love, hate and cry over. My goal is for history to come alive for you whether it be in a Civil War field hospital, an experimental Utopian society or in the dark-paneled rooms of Gilded Age socialites. If you like Gone with the Wind, Cold Mountain and Age of Innocence you may enjoy The Tenafly Road Series.
When not writing novels, you can find me knee-deep in farm muck.
