Historic Somerville, Inc. in partnership with The Somerville Museum presents author Catherine Manegold in the intimate setting of The Somerville Museum.

C.S. Manegold was a reporter for the New York Times, Newsweek and the Philadelphia Inquirer before turning her attention to longer works. As a foreign correspondent, she covered Asia and reported from the Middle East. While serving as a national correspondent at The New York Times she wrote frequently for the Week in Review and the Sunday Magazine. Winner of numerous national awards, Manegold was part of the New York Times team recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for its coverage of the 1993 terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center. Upon resigning from the Times’ staff in 1999 Manegold committed herself to a longer form of journalism and historical research and discovered a new passion- for teaching.

Ten Hills Farm: The Forgotten History of Slavery in the North explores the early history of black slavery in North America, revealing the interlaced stories of three families of slave-owners who lived on a New England farm settled by Jon Winthrop. This riveting history unfolds over 150 years as these families lived with slaves and profited from the slave trade in the North, the West Indies, and the American South. Isaac Royall Jr., heir to a huge fortune made through slavery and the slave trade in Antigua, granted Harvard College funds to create a professorship of law. From that seed grew Harvard law school.
