Published by Mentoris Project
  |
Peg's novels published by the Mentoris project are fictional biographies of Italian-Americans who made great contributions to the history of the United States.
From Amazon Reviews: "Lamphier's lively writing style brought to life an Italian immigrant whose life had been lost to history. Being a Civil War historian ... she included many interesting aspects of how life was lived during the war for soldiers and, as happened to Cesnola, for prisoners of war." |

Winner of the 2017 American Library Association, Best Historical Materials!!!

Also, the original cover had a rocket in the middle picture. So, two old dudes and a phallic symbol. Rosanne and I fought for a woman. We got her. That's Maria Mitchell in the center. Go Chicks! The encyclopedia is slated for publication in 2019 with ABC-Clio. Three Volumes, 700,000 words.

Spur Up Your Pegasus: Family Letters of Salmon, Kate and Nettie Chase, 1840-1873
(with Jim McClure and Erika Kreger).
It looks boring as hell, but it's actually a pretty cool collection of letters and essays from between a man (who was Lincoln's Sec. of Treasury) and his two daughters.
