Hello Galena News: Released April 08, 2009

First-Ever Book Signing by P. J. Hartenaus Slated for Hello Galena

Author and teacher P.J. Hartenaus will be signing copies of her newly released book about the Belden School called, “The Belden Boy.” P.J. will be at the local artist co-op, Hello Galena, where she sells her books. The book signing will be held on Saturday, April 18 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Please stop by to meet the author and have her autograph your copy of her book for you.

This new book chronicles the adventures of Peter McDugal, a youngster growing up in the late late 1800s in the Galena Territory. Readers interested in a preview can learn more about Peter on P.J.'s web site where she describes her work, "His adventures during this time are very much like those of young folks today, yet a different time and place. Belden School, a one-room rock school house, lies in the hills of this unglaciated area, and is the center of his life-almost like a friend. Read about Peter's childhood days in and around Belden School, and about his friendships good and bad. Discover what makes Belden School so special!"

Join us at the store Saturday, April 18 where you may purchase a copy of the Belden Boy and meet the author during a reception from 1-3 p.m. Hello Galena is located at 121 N.
