Why Is New England Wicked Pissed?
Find out from WCVB-TV Chronicle Reporter Ted Reinstein
Tuesday, June 21st, 7:00 pm, Abbot Public Library – Marblehead
New England is as dotted with colorful and fascinating feuds as it is with low stone walls and big, red barns. And many of them go back just as far! For instance, did you know that the Breeds and the Bunkers are still fighting over a hill? Or that the revolution is still being fought — by Lexington and Concord?! From the Colonial era, through early aviation (CT claims the Wright Bros. are wrong), to Red Sox vs. Yankees and present-day food fights, native New Englander and local writer Ted Reinstein offers us fascinating stories, some known, others not so much, from the history of New England in this fun, accessible book. Bringing to life many of the fights, spats, and arguments that have, in many ways, shaped the area itself, Reinstein demonstrates what it really means to be Wicked Pissed!
The talk will be followed by a Q&A as well as a book signing. Books will be available for sale.
Ted Reinstein has been a reporter for Chronicle, WCVB-TV/Boston’s award-winning — and America’s longest-running, locally-produced — nightly news magazine since 1997. In addition, he is a regular contributor for the station’s political roundtable show and writes a weekly opinion column.
Elsewhere on television, Ted hosted the premiere season of the Discovery Channel’s Popular Mechanics show, and hosted a special on America’s lighthouses for HGTV. For the Travel Channel’s photo/adventure series, FreezeFrame, he explored Hawaii’s volcanoes, the caves of Puerto Rico, and the South Pacific islands of Tahiti.
His first book, New England Notebook: One Reporter, Six States, Uncommon Stories, was released in May 2013 by Globe-Pequot Press. The book recounts many of Ted’s favorite people and stories from his travels all around New England. National Geographic Traveler named it one of its “Best Picks,” and the book is now in its second printing. In April 2016, Globe Pequot Press released Ted’s second book, Wicked Pissed: New England’s Most Famous Feuds.
