Black Homeownership on Martha's Vineyard: A History
A Culinary History of Martha's Vineyard Listen to our interview on WCAI's The Point!
In February I plan to post a piece on one of my Vineyard history books every other day. Drop into my Substack account: Kutter's Commentary to read what I have to say. Yes, I'm sharing the site with my dog, Kutter, but it should work out ok. And feel free to reach out to me, there or here, or on gmail.
Check out Substack for Kutter's Commentary. I write an overview of the origin of each book. And I offer a brief summary of each of my books. It's worth checking out! February 4, 2025 - Mystery on the Vineyard February 6 - African Americans of Martha's Vineyard February 8 - The Wampanoag Tribe of Martha's Vineyard February 10 - Disaster Off Martha's Vineyard
