Warren A. Trest, historian and author of “Nobody but the People,” will be at Central Alabama Community College in mid-May for a book signing. But, the book and its subject are a little more of interest to local residents than the normal biographical novel.

Trest’s novel is the first authorized biography of former Alabama Governor and Goldville resident John Patterson. The former governor will be joining Trest at the presentation and book signing, which will be held May 15 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
