John Muller, author of Frederick Douglass in Washington, D.C.: The Lion of Anacostia (2012) and Mark Twain in Washington, D.C.: The Adventures of a Capital Correspondent (2013), has presented widely throughout the DC-Baltimore metropolitan area at venues including the Library of Congress, Politics and Prose Bookstore, Newseum, Enoch Pratt Library, DC Public Library, Frederick Douglass National Historic Site, American Library in Paris, Washington County Library, Delaplaine Arts Center and local universities.

Muller has been featured on C-SPAN’s BookTV, C-SPAN’s American History TV, NBC4 (Washington, D.C.), WDVM (Western Maryland) and radio stations WPFW (DC), WAMU (DC), WYPR (Baltimore) and Delmarva Public Radio (Eastern Shore). For the past decade Muller has contributed hundreds of articles to local and national print and online news sources, including the Washington Informer, Washington Times, East of the River and the Washington Post.

In 2020, Muller co-founded Lost History Associates USA, www.losthistoryusa.com, along with Justin McNeil. They are currently working on a new book, Lost History of Frederick (Bailey) Douglass in Baltimore.

Over the past six months Muller and McNeil have canvassed old churches, cemeteries, schoolhouses, train stations, farmhouses, towns and roads throughout Western Maryland in pursuit of the community’s lost history. They plan to share some of their groundbreaking research into the connectivity of Frederick Douglass to the communities of Frederick County.
