The discounts are coming! The discounts are coming! (Pardon the Revolutionary War pun...)
In honor of Independence Day - and the 2025 Genealogy and History Conference in Southern Maryland - we're offering two big discounts:
- $5 off (plus free shipping) of each copy of The Wathens of Southern Maryland: Their Genealogy & History through 4th of July weekend!
- $5 off (plus free shipping) of each pre-ordered copy of Wathen's Adventure: The Genealogy & History, which is scheduled to ship in time for Christmas 2025! Each pre-ordered hardcover book includes a free Memorial Page Listing (also available separately).
As detailed in both The Wathens of Southern Maryland and Wathen's Adventure, nearly two dozen local Wathens fought for America's freedom during the Revolutionary War. The book Papist Patriots: The Making of an American Catholic Identity points to the Wathens as an example of a Maryland Catholic family that saw independence from England as the best way to break free from the “legislated anti-Catholicism” that had been affecting the Maryland colony since the 1690s. It seems that nearly every male Wathen who was eligible either enlisted to fight in the war or donated supplies to soldiers.
Be sure to take advantage of the sale while it lasts!
(Discounts will be automatically applied at checkout. Free shipping does not apply to other merchandise in the online store. Online sale ends on July 6 at 11:59 PM.)
