CHAUTONA HAVIG on 1901 HISTORY...More about Sweet on You

I was privileged to ask the very gracious author of Sweet on You, the first book in the Meddlin' Madeline series, Chautona Havig a question about her latest book. History has alway fascinated me, so I was curious about her exceptional research in this historical novel.

What was the most fascinating or surprising historical fact that you found in your research of the 1901 time period? And did it find it's way into Sweet on You, or is it something that might show up in a later book in the Meddlin' Madeline series? 


CHAUTONA HAVIG:
That's a toss up between how inexpensive the Brownie camera was (and it's TINY picture size) and the fact that the Pinkerton Detective Agency worked more like "Secret Service" agents for strikebreakers than actual detectives. They did do detective work, but the bulk of their stuff was much less investigative.

Thanks, Ms. Havig!
