I was born and raised in the history-rich Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. (Think: Mohawk Trail; Deerfield Massacre; Stockbridge Indians; Fort Massachusetts.) It was there that the works of James Fenimore Cooper, Kenneth Roberts and Walter D. Edmonds stimulated a lifelong interest in American colonial history. Later, while living in New York's Mohawk Valley, I was able to immerse myself in the history of 17th– and 18th-century New York and to explore the interaction of the Dutch, English and French settlers and traders with the Five Iroquois Nations. Now, after a successful and rewarding career in public relations and social marketing with New York State government, I have the opportunity to share what I have learned about this thrilling period of history. I hope that you are as excited to read my stories about the early American frontier as I am to tell them.
When Sean O'Cathail deserted in New York Harbor in 1681, it was not to become a boschloper. He jumped ship to save his own skin. Getting into the fur trading business was just where he landed. As an Irish refuge hiding out in a Dutch colony now controlled by the English, Sean found he had a knack for diplomacy as he negotiated between the colonists and their Iroquois neighbors. This skill also helped with his love life, torn between courting a servant in town, while sleeping with an Indian lass when in the wilderness.
As the French and their Indian allies encroach ever farther into their territory. Sean's diplomatric skills will be put to the test. Then, he learns more than a few pelts are at stake!
