Now that the Thomas Jefferson book is completed and doing well, I was thinking about a future project that will meet the requirements of my publisher The History Press. The goal is to write something that is original and tied to the City of Fredericksburg. Looking at some options I came upon the idea of compiling the letters of Hugh Mercer for a short biography (approx. 200 pages). Mercer left his mark on the Revolution and lived in Fredericksburg. Like Jefferson, Mercer left behind an impressive legacy that is still commemorated to this day. The working title is: Hugh Mercer, The Extraordinary Life and Death of Fredericksburg’s Patriotic Physician.
