About The Author
I have a keen interest in history: political, economic & religious, with specific emphasis on the early colonial period, the American War for Independence, the American frontier, the fur trade, gold mining and natural resources. I am a published historian and an ardent genealogist. I find the old axiom too true, that those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
