Black Goose: History of Seekonk, Volume 1

Seekonk, MA – This Fall season, learn more about the history of Seekonk’s own “pilgrims” or earliest residents from the author of Black Goose: History of Seekonk, Volume 1. This informative talk on the new book from author Kevin Saleeba will be held at the Seekonk Library on Thursday, October 26 at 6 PM. This program is free and open to the public, no registration required.
Author Kevin Saleeba says “The more the Town of Seekonk grows as a bedroom community, it is easy for newcomers to be unaware of the impact the Seekonk region had on the growth of the country.” In an effort to keep the town's heritage from fading, Saleeba, along with special guest and longtime Seekonk High School History teacher, Frank Mooney, will discuss the early origins of the town as depicted in Saleeba's newly released book, Black Goose: The History of Seekonk, Vol. 1. The book covers the early life of the Wampanoag people and the first European colonization that led to one of the bloodiest wars in American history, King Philip's War. Along with discussing the early history of Seekonk, Saleeba will explain his writing process and the importance of preserving the town's heritage. A book signing will follow the discussion.
