Autorenporträt
Growing up on Long Island, New York leaves much to the imagination. Surrounded by history in every direction from Dutch Governor Peter Stuyvesant, the Battle of Long Island, Battle of Saratoga where a statue of Benedict Arnold's boot remains today. Tarrytown, New York where Major John Andre was hung like a common criminal and buried until his family came to retrieve his remains. Trinity Church in Manhattan, to the Montauk Lighthouse commissioned by President George Washington it is no wonder that history has left its mark. During my adult years my husband and I continue to travel around the country from the original thirteen colonies to states west always seeking out historical sites.
