The Clarks of Willsborough Point: The Long Trek North

The Long Trek North is the introduction to the Clark family whose lives will be traced from George and Lydia's decision in 1801 to leave behind all that they had known in the Berkshires and strike out for parts north to begin a new life in New York's Champlain Valley, much of which was little more than wilderness. A chance for greater financial security by fabricating anchors for the Navy is the lure. The author invites her reader to accompany the young Clarks on their journey, to be part of their lives in their new home and community, and to join George at the anchor shop until, ultimately, tragedy strikes. Each book in the series will truly engage the reader in the lives of this remarkable family.
