About the Author

Tom is a 54-year-old retired lecturer who now writes about the state’s colonial maritime history and the rolling horse country of the interior. He has a scholarly approach to travel, often digging into the genealogy of the families who have farmed the same land for centuries. Tom’s writing is formal and sophisticated, reflecting a deep respect for the state’s role in early American politics. He enjoys exploring the quiet country lanes and the hidden vineyards of the Blue Ridge foothills. He is a firm believer that the best way to see the state is through its historic taverns and backroads.
