SUMMARY:Book Event at Book People with Lora Chilton, Author of 1666
DESCRIPTION:Join author Lora Chilton to discuss and sign copies of her novel 1666 at Book People Book Event on April 23rd 7pm-9pm.\nMore info about the event can be found here:\nhttps://www.bookpeoplerichmond.com/event/lora-chiltons-1666-novel ( https://www.bookpeoplerichmond.com/event/lora-chiltons-1666-novel )\nBook People Book Store:\n10464 Ridgefield Parkway – Henrico, VA 23233\n \n\nThe survival of the Patawomeck Tribe of Virginia has been remembered within the tribe for generations, but the massacre of the men and the enslavement of the women and children has mostly been unknown outside the tribe until now. 1666 : A Novel by Lora Chilton imagines the story of the Patawomeck women who survived the decimation of their tribe in the summer of 1666, after being sold into slavery and shipped to Barbados. As a member of the tribe through the lineage of her father, Lora tells this story with authenticity and heart.\n \nAUTHOR LORA CHILTON\nA member of the Patawomeck Indian Tribe of Virginia, Lora Chilton tells the story of her people and their unlikely survival due to the courage of three Patawomeck women. As a part of the process, she interviewed tribal elders, researched colonial documents and studied the Patawomeck language. Chilton graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing. She has worked as a Registered Nurse, a small business owner, an elected official, a non-profit executive and a writer. Memphis is her home. 1666: A Novel is her second work of historical fiction.\n \n–\n\nLora Chilton’s talk and signing is a part of her Historic 1666 Route of the Patawomeck Women Book Tour. To honor the women who suffered this ordeal and to pay tribute to the tribe’s ultimate survival in part because of these two courageous women, author Lora Chilton’s book tour will follow this imagined route from Fredericksburg through Richmond and Williamsburg to Hampton in Virginia.\nThe 1666 book tour will launch on April 20 at the Patawomeck Museum and Cultural Center with the 1666 Commemorate Day event. Ceremonies and festivities will run from 11 to 3 and include demonstrations of the Patawomeck traditions and culture, interviews with elders, speeches from those who are introducing the new bill recognizing the tribe, a 1666 book talk and book signing with Chilton, plus access to the museum, and much more.\nAt each event, Lora will share how she came to write this story, how she studied the Patawomeck language, interviewed the elders of her tribe who kept the story alive through oral tradition, as well as conducted her own research. Lora tells a powerful story of discovering her own heritage and then uncovering this story that up until now has only been known within the tribe.\nYou also may view postings on Chilton’s social media throughout the tour.\n
