A lifelong history buff, particularly of the New York area and some of its historically rich towns, A.J. has made a career of his passion. His books include Murder & Mayhem in Ulster County with Elizabeth Werlau), Washington's Headquarters in Newburgh, and his most recent, Unexpected Bravery: Women and Children of the Civil War.
