Local Author to Talk D.C. Antiheroes Tonight at Mt. Pleasant Library

A local author and historian will prove tonight that heroes don’t deserve all the credit.

Canden Schwantes Arciniega, author of Wicked Georgetown and Wild Women of Washington, D.C., will talk about notorious figures in D.C. history at the Mt. Pleasant Library (3160 16th Street NW) at 7 p.m.

Arciniega, a volunteer docent and researcher for the D.C. Historical Society and Kiplinger Library, has spent years exploring the city and learning about its infamous individuals.

Copies of Arciniega’s books will be available for purchase and signing at the event.
