About Me
- Dave Daley
- I'm a semi-retired journalist with a love of family history, Ireland and the Irish, the U.S. Civil War and American history. At present, I am researching a book on the effects of the U.S. Civil War on half a dozen Midwestern communities - the home-front, if you will. My wife Ann and our ten-year-old son Bobby, fortunately, share my love of history. We live on a 36-acre farm just outside the village of Waterford, Wisconsin, which itself is about 25 miles south of Milwaukee. We have a horse, a miniature Sicilian donkey, a dog, and six cats. When I finish my daily chores - chores that include mucking out stalls, litter boxes and poop decks - the animals let me write. davidddaley@wi.rr.com
