Librarian and local historian Andrew Wilson leads a lively book chat series, which will focus on Charles Portis’ novella True Grit.  Andrew will also share images and stories about Annie Oakley & Buffalo Bill Cody on Staten Island.  In the late 19th century, their Wild West Show was performed on the North Shore, in Mariner’s Harbor – in an area that was then called “Erastina”.  Here is a link to Andrew Wilson’s blog:
