Kollatz Does Richmond From The Bottom Up


Unlike this roaring motor car climbing up what is probably somewhere back of Church Hill in 1910, this Saturday, June 7, I'm taking a crew of history afficianados on a Three Hour Tour. Never fear, it's on an air-conditioned bus, and no small craft will be involved, or, according to the advance forcasts, rough weather.

However, if any ladies show up as Marianne or Ginger, I'll give them a free signed book. Also, because I can never seem to master the art, if you can tie my bow tie, you get a book, too.

This tour is through the Valentine Richmond History Center, it's $20, and we'll get off the bus on three occasions. This is not a brass plaque of the glorious dead tour. History may never be the same.

The image, by the way, is from the Center's amazing Cook Collection.
