Thanks for your interest in my forthcoming book! I am an independent scholar from Minnesota writing a one-of-a-kind biography. Your donations support research costs and help cover basic living expenses so I can focus exclusively on the finishing the book.

Tentatively titled The Long Road to Little Canada, this joint biography of Red River and Minnesota settlers Benjamin Gervais and Genevieve Laurence is an epic tale of harrowing journeys, untimely deaths, failed business ventures, unlikely love affairs, calamitous natural disasters, political intrigue, and corruption that spans the North American continent. It is a true story of the American West that challenges historical scholarship but reads like a novel.
